Each module is meant to interface with a +specific type of Kerberos implementation, such as MIT Kerberos or Heimdal, +and provide a standard set of API calls used to interact with that +implementation's kadmin interface. The class simply uses Wallet::Config to find which type of kadmind we have requested to use, and then returns an object to use for interacting with that kadmind. A keytab is an on-disk store for the key or keys for a Kerberos principal. -Keytabs are used by services to verify incoming authentication from clients -or by automated processes that need to authenticate to Kerberos.
