There’s been work on improved password change protocols, but I’m not sure how much actually completed. I also remember once suggesting that loading a KDB entry from a keytab file would be useful, at least for handling cross-realm principals.

Are there any password change protocols where you can supply the enctype and a key instead of a text password? Or is the only way to do that via the kdc’s kadmin interface.
