Ah, ok. Interesting. Why don't you separate the krb5 module into another
project. I guess some people might be interested in that.

Especially my dream would be to support HTTP-Authentication based on
SPNEGO/GSSAPI in web2ldap. But not only authenticating the user at the
web server. I would rather like forward the service ticket requested for
a particular LDAP service to the LDAP server in a SASL/GSSAPI
BindRequest. Do you think that's feasible?

Ciao, Michael.
