[keycloak-user] LDAP with Kerberos, login with different user

Do you want that for normal users or just for admin users? Just trying 
to understand the usecase. Because AFAIK the point of kerberos is, that 
you login into the desktop and then you're automatically logged into 
integrated web applications without need to deal with any login screens 
and username/password. When user has just one keycloak account 
corresponding to his kerberos ticket, then why he need to login as 
different user?

I can understand the usecase for admin, when you want to login as 
different user for testing purpose etc. For this, isn't it possible in 
windows to do something like "kdestroy" to be able to login without 
kerberos?
