Look into gluon/contrib/login_methods/ldap_auth.py It contains an example of how to use ldap. I am not sure about kerberos. There is nothing in web2py for kerberos but I understand kerberos can authenticate using both ldap and x509 and for both there is an API.
If we need to add something and you can explain us what we may work on it.
