Hmm... What I'm trying to accomplish here is a configuration where users
authenticate to the ldap server with username/password (no kerberos

to do with the standard plugins? I've had a hard time trying to figure
out how to do this... =) The idea in this is that we'd like to have
a single service for authenticating users, even for services that do not
support kerberos.
  
This isn't supported in the current code.
If you just want to do LDAP SIMPLE BINDs with username/password (hopefully over a TLS connection), and use the Kerberos password instead of the userPassword attribute, you can use the PAM passthru bind plugin.  You will have to grab the Fedora DS source and build it.  What this does is pass the BIND authentication request to PAM, which you can configure to go to Kerberos for authentication.
If it's not possible, I'll look into writing a plugin that does this.
  
Sounds good. First you'd need to figure out how to perform a proxied authentiation
against kerberos. With the existing SASL/GSSAPI mechanism we don't need to do
that because we're simply passing through the authentication payload between GSSAPI
and the client. Presumably you'd need to do whatever 'kinit' does, but inside the DS.
