Warning: Real-life results show that the code path for preauth always
seems to go through the strongest enctype configured (for example
aes256), even if the users principal does not have a key of that
enctype. So these users (*) will not be able to obtain tickets any
more (at least not without password change to get those new keys).

A more detailed report will probably follow from the testers.

Harald.

(*) for example users with enctypes up to aes128 who have not changed
their password since the newest enctype aes256 has been available.
