My guess is that their Kerberos key is also migrated. The key is not valid on
the new installation as also Kerberos master key is different. So I would
suggest stripping the users from their Kerberos attributes first.

Some advise here:

Hmm, this should be all. Except if the users were members of for examples roles
or privileges, you would need to migrate that membership too as mere presence
of memberOf attribute in the sys account will not be enough.
