The V5 and V4 protocols are completely different.  Unless your V5 KDC
supports the V4 protocol (and you'd have to ask CyberSafe that question),
then there's no way the Xyplex can work with it, unless it can support V5.

MIT's V5 KDC supports both V5 and V4 protocols (as long as you compile
it with the V4 backwards compatibility option), but that doesn't mean
that anybody else's V5 KDC will.  Talk to your vendor(s)...
