I think the question is about our JSON/RPC API.
The answer is: use some kind of kerberos authentication (SSSD, kinit or
similar).
The user running client side executable will be mapped on the client
side to kerberos principal and his ticket will be used automatically
from the kerberos cache. There are is not user name and password
argument in the API if this is what you are looking for.

HTH.
