If you use password authentication you're authenticated against AD.
This is essentially using Kerberos under the hood, AFAIK. OpenSSH does
not use Kerberos directly since Kerberos support is not linked into
OpenSSH, basically because nobody is maintaining a working kerberos
implementation as part of the Cygwin distribution.
