Found an example on how to create the keytab file at 
http://docs.hp.com/en/J4269-90049/ch04s03.html: 
=============================================
Use the ktpass tool to create the keytab file and set up an identity mapping 
the host account. 
The following is an example showing you how to run ktpass to create the keytab 
file for the HP-UX host myhost with the KDC realm cup.hp.com:

C:> ktpass -princ host/[email protected] -mapuser myhost -pass mypasswd -out 
unix.keytab
=============================================

For my case, Kerberos server and LDAP server are all in one machine with 
Windows 2003 server OS installed on it. Should it be the following format?
=============================================
C:> ktpass -princ ldap/[email protected] -mapuser sesswin2003.com 
-pass mypasswd -out ldap.keytab
=============================================
sesswin2003.com is a primary domain controller, and the only machine in its 
domain is itself. So the domain name is the same as the hostname. But in the 
ADS, shall I create a user named after the computer's hostname - 
"sesswin2003.com"? This seems ridiculous. 

By the way, after the keytab file is generated, I would transfer it to the 
printer, which is the LDAP client. Which directory should I put the file in?

Or if I have missed anything? Looking forward to your help, Michael.

Thanks,
