This change had the unintended consequence of restricting the ticket session key to the enctypes in the keytab. The change was amended by #7190 to include all of the default_tkt_enctypes list in the request, but sorted with the keytab's enctypes appearing first. That way the session key enctype is not constrained, but the KDC is very likely to use a reply key which exists in the keytab. Nico has also suggested doing encrypted timestamp preauth with one of the keytab keys, and having the KDC use the encrypted timestamp key as the reply key. These are probably good ideas but the former may have some edge cases given the current state of the client preauth code. See also: http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/krbdev/2012-July/010998.html
