I am just looking at http://www.h5l.org/manual/HEAD/info/heimdal/Using-LDAP-to-store-the-database.html#Using-LDAP-to-store-the-database 

and there it states:

[...]
Since Heimdal talks to the LDAP server over a UNIX domain socket, and
uses external sasl authentication, it's not possible to require
security layer quality (ssf in cyrus-sasl lingo). So that requirement
has to be turned off in OpenLDAP slapd configuration file slapd.conf.
[...]

Does this mean we can't split ldap-server and kdc-server? Or is this a
bad idea anyway?
