You can't because we currently don't support this.

Yes. Setup a fedora directory server instance that automagically 
synchronizes users and passwords from windows active directory using our 
"Password Sync utility". A Howto is here - 
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:WindowsSync Downloads here 
- http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Download Once the initial sync 
to fedora directory server is complete , then you can use pkiconsole to 
authenticate to this instance.

Hope that helps.
