On Unix, with JXplorer, I can add -Duser.krb5ccname=$KRB5CCNAME
to the command line, and the JXplorer gssapi.conf has:

com.ca.commons.jndi.JNDIOps {
   com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required client=TRUE
         ticketCache="${user.krb5ccname}"
         doNotPrompt=TRUE
         useTicketCache=TRUE;
};

On Windows it does not have the ticketCache= line,
but I think it could try it.

If Leash32 or Network Identity Manager is storing them in a file,
say \tmp\krb5cc_username
you could try ticketCache=\tmp\krb5cc_username
