Well, I could be mistaken, but isn't any type of authentication between your
Mac OS X server and Active Directory using Kerberos?  Active Directory users
that need to connect to the iChat server are going to be doing this through
your Kerberos/AD settings on the server.

Apple has updated their knowledge base extensively since Leopard Server's
release.  I have the feeling this article applies to your situation:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306749

There are several other Active Directory/Leopard Server related articles
here:

http://search.info.apple.com/index.html?search=Go&lr=lang_en&kword=kmosxserv
er105&&news&q=&type=ktech+OR+klearn

If that doesn't work, I'd suggest changing the Open Directory role from "OD
Master" to "Connected to a directory system".  I have iChat working with a
combination of the article I listed above and the OD configuration I just
suggested.

Good luck,
