You are likely on your own here.

I=E2=80=99m surprised the base system kinit ever worked with OpenSSL in FIPS=
 mode. Given the age of the Heimdal code (and I believe dependence on algori=
thms that should be deprecated), I would strongly suggest looking at Kerbero=
s in ports as a path forward as they will likely be better supported with mo=
dern crypto.
