### Ticket lifetime jitter

Ticket lifetimes can be jittered so that renewals / re-issues do not overwhelm the KDC at a certain moment.
The feature is enabled automatically so that we can avoid triggering an LDAP query on every `AS_REQ` and `TGS_REQ`.
All TGT lifetimes are varied slightly to avoid overwhelming the KDC with
simultaneous renewal requests. Jitter will reduce lifetimes by up to one hour
from the configured maximum lifetime (per policy). Significantly shorter
requested lifetimes will be unaffected.
