Sun's implementation of Java GSS/Kerberos currently supports 
PA-ENC-TIMESTAMP as per RFC 1510. The new pre-authentication types 
specified in the Kerberos clarifications provide additional 
pre-authentication. Support for these new pre-authentication types 
PA-ETYPE-INFO and PA-ETYPE-INFO2 will be available in future J2SE release.

However, if you specify the etype correctly, you should not get the 
pre-authentication error. You can specify the default encryption types 
used by the Java client in the Kerberos configuration file.

[libdefaults]
default_tkt_enctypes = des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-crc des3-cbc-sha1
default_tgs_enctypes = des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-crc des3-cbc-sha1
permitted_enctypes   = des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-crc des3-cbc-sha1//

In addition, Windows allows to disable pre-authentication by selecting 
"do not require Kerberos pre-authentication" in the AD account settings.
