Well, the reason to use kerberos is you get single sign-on. You enter 
your password when you kinit and then never have to provide it again 
(well, that's the Utopian ideal anyway).

But if you really want it, set KrbMethodK5Passwd to on in 
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ipa.conf and restart the httpd process.

It will still try to use kerberos negotiation (single sign-on) but will 
fall back to username/password.
