It is an implementation of GSSAPI/SPNEGO protocol at client side. At
server side one can use mod_auth_kerb module with apache. Then you get
Single-Sign-On web services. I.e. if you have a kerberos ticket
(registered on KDC) you may get automagically access to webservices
without typing name/password.

Great, thanks.

BTW www/mozilla-devel works out of the box. And I'm still trying to
force firefox/thunderbird to use automagical GSSAPI
authentication. According to release notes they should but I didn't
succeed at the case.
