Unhappy External LDAP with GSSAPI authentication method

hello,
We have downloaded the ZIMBRA open source release the beta version zcs-3.2.0_M2_224.RHEL4
In our network we are using one LDAP for user information storage and a KERBEROS server for user password.
Zimbra installed with no problems.
For GAL Configuration we have chosen the external LDAP and it works fine, but for the Authentication configuration we have some problems,
in fact because of the fact that LDAP is searching the user's password in kerberos using GSSAPI protocol, when setting up external authentication we always got the 'bad credentials error'.
to make a LDAP search on command line we proceed like folowing:

(getting a kerberos ticket)
$kinit user
Password for user@REALM:******

(making a ldapsearch)
ldapsearch -H ldap://ldapserver -b "dc=company,...,dc=fr" "uid=user" -Y GSSAPI
and we have the user's info.

is there a method configure ZIMBRA to interact with our LDAP server to authenticate users?
thank you in advance,
Victor.
