PGAdmin4 also works via Kerberos (was on my list of things to get working). It's just locally on the server psql will not work to postgresql running on the same server.

Perhaps I wasn't clear- it's not going to work if you do:

psql -h localhost

Instead, try doing:

psql -h hostname.mydomain.net -U postgres -d postgres

Basically, Kerberos isn't really set up to work when the host you're
connecting to is named 'localhost' because the name of the host is how
you figure out what ticket to acquire from the KDC.
