It probably calls krb5_kuserok(), which, if (~/.k5login does not exist
AND username == krb5_aname_to_lname(client_principal)) returns true.

OTOH, if ~/.k5login exists and the client principal name is not listed
in it, access is denied, even if the client's principal name maps to the
requested username.
