Allow Kerberos kinit to be used for the WebUI for ticket based auth
- Zendesk ticket: https://gitlab.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/6565 and https://gitlab.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/12123
Requested feature
Currently Kerberos login support works by having to provide your password, just like LDAP, but a full featured Kerberos login should support ticket based authentication, just like we do for Git-Over-HTTP (thanks to this MR.
Here is what had to say about adding this:
That would be an invaluable feature and would really round out what I (and many others) would consider "kerberos support". If I have to log into the web UI with a different password, but can kinit and use my ticket to checkout/commit/etc that seems sort of odd and not really what I would consider an "enterprise authentication" feature.
