You do not need to populate the Kerberos password fields directly. Once
you migrate your DB users to LDAP, if you enable IPA's "migration
mode" (see the docs on how), the next time a user binds to LDAP using
their existing password, a pre-bind plugin on FreeIPA will catch the
plaintext password and use it to populate the Kerberos password fields
automatically.
