For this I think you need to use krb5_init_context_profile(), with a
profile derived from profile_init_vtable() (see <profile.h>).
I see that your previous message did not get answered, but it looks like
if you are asking this question, you have gotten past it. I will note
that the server doing password verification will need to have kerberos
credentials of its own and take care to avoid the Zanarotti attack.
