Why do you think MIT Kerberos can't do that?
Our current release has LDAP database support. I'm not really an
expert on the use of LDAP, though, so aside from just pointing you at
some documentation, I can't give you a lot of specific advice.

If you're using a version of MIT Kerberos included by an operating
system vendor, it may or may not be recent enough to have the LDAP
support, and the LDAP support may or may not have been compiled...
