I don't know what "Unknown code krb5 7" means, but I would make sure:

You have a local credentials cache (klist)
You have received a ticket for the LDAP service pricipal
You are referencing the server using the same name as its service principal
You have forward and reverse DNS setup for both the server and client

I'm guessing that '-h 10.230.34.88' is incorrect. I would recommend
referencing the server by DNS name, unless the server really is using a
service principal with that IP address.
