It is slapd-ldap, not slapo-ldap.

I want to start using kerberos setting like below and start using
kerberos for authentication

May be I am not understanding how to implement kerberos proxy.

Kerberos is its own protocol and set of software. The two primary FOSS distributions of Kerberos are MIT and Heimdal.

You can use LDAP to store the Kerberos Database, and you can use Kerberos tickets to authenticate to LDAP (SASL/GSSAPI), but you cannot use LDAP as an in-between proxy to Kerberos, as they are entirely different protocols.
