Hello,
I'm getting problem to setup dovecot imap/pop service authentication 
through Kerberos.

Already read https://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Kerberos.

My guess is kerberos is working but something goes wrong after.

The keytab and ticket ( for ldap userdb lookup )

-rw------- 1 dovecot root    1503 ago  4 11:40 /etc/dovecot/imap.ticket

dovecot --version
2.3.13 (89f716dc2)
