Windows Active Directory, MIT kerberos, KDC and Oracle Advanced Security

Anyone got working Oracle 9i/10g (AIX/Linux/Windows) external authentication via Windows 2003 AD KDC (MIT Kerberos) ? Is it worth the effort, is it safe in a long run for production environment?  

So far I failed with
- Oracle 10.2.0.1 on both RHAT Enterprise server v5 and Windows Standard
Edition 2003
- Oracle 9.2.0.6 on AIX 5.3
 

KDC is on Windows SE 2003, with hotfix implemented regarding DES encryption  

Technically, Oracle "sqlplus /@test" gets as far as to get both TGT and TSK for db server principal (which is veryfied by running oklist) This means that the most common kerberos issue with "Crediantials retrival failed" is avoided.
Then it fails with either  

1. ORA-12637 (Packet receive failed) for Oracle 10.2.0.1 on both RHAT ES v5 and Windows SE 2003. Oracle complains with "Read unexpected EOF ERROR on 9" meaning that KDC failes to respond after about 10 minutes wait.
2. ORA-12631 (Username retrieval failed) for Oracle 9.2.0.6 on AIX Here Oracle complains with "Returning 31: Decrypt integrity check failed....error 12631 received from authentication service"

Does it makes sense to investigate any further or is it a dead end which was never supposed to be in production?  

Tahnk you in advance,
