Hi Thomas,
I agree with the other folks who have spoken on this subject (Ryan and
Harry) that the API to handle Kerberos tickets either belongs in the
Secondary API Features ("the lifecycle control of credentials such
enrollment, selection, and revocation of credentials with a focus
enabling the selection of certificates for signing and encryption") or
is out of scope under the charter of the working group.
There was an email discussion in August related to better support for
non-certificate credentials such as Kerberos tickets:
