You can populate the userpassword attribute with a plain password, but,
as far as I am aware, there is nothing to sync it with the users active
directory password.

Surely there is someway to authenticate by Active directory or kerberos
?

What are you trying to authenticate ? Perhaps someone can point you in
the right direction.
