> Active Directory (invented at MIT)

AD was invented by Microsoft, gluing together Kerberos (from MIT) and LDAP (from UMich). If it was from MIT, we wouldn't have had Windows 2000's infamous proprietary PAC.

It’s been ages since I stood up a Kerberos realm, but… would it be possible to allow RC4 only for specific users? Like encrypt win98server@example.com’s heavily locked down account with RC4, but everyone else gets AES-256?

Yes you can enable specific encryption types for users. It's not super common, but it can be done.
