I think the question is not fully formed.
What is "the server" to which root on the local machine has no access?
Why are kerberos credentials needed at all in this kiosk/autologin
scenario?
Automatic login will inherently only have access to local resources; if
access to remote resources is needed, the machine itself will need to be
given some form of credentials and a way to use them in the login path;
the details of those will depend on the details of your use case.
