In what direction? Which is authoritative?

Assuming AD is the main password store, then AD will function as a perfectly
usable Kerberos 5 server. I would investigate simply joining your Solaris
box to the domain using Kerberos.

Yes, AD is the main password store. How to join Solaris box to the
domain using Kerberos? Is this the only way as I guess is not easy to
set up Kerberros?

It isn't trivial, but it's well documented. GIYF.

Take a look at this article I wrote; it provides some guidance:

<http://blog.scottlowe.org/2007/04/25/solaris-10-ad-integration-version-3/>

There are also a few other AD integration articles on the site that
might be helpful as well. Good luck!
