You should read on authorizations vs. authentication,
kerberos and ldap basics.  
Introduction is i.e. here:
http://fluxcoil.net/files/a_sysadmins_guide_to_authentication_and_authorization__chhorn__current.pdf

Doesnt hurt to have both ldap and kerberos used in separate
environments/separated bevore using both from IPA.
Debugging both for itself is interesting sometimes ;)
