I will bikeshed this thread a little bit:
Can we use kadmin protocol instead of the proprietary LDAP control?

If I remember correctly one of objections was that we do not allow admin to 
read the key but it is not true anymore ... And we have ticket delegation 
capabilities so kadmin process can use credentials of requester to contact LDAP.

I really don't like ipa-getkeytab :-) It is yet another proprietary tool. I 
would like to allow admins experienced with Kerberos to use normal kadmin.
