NAME
       Authen::SASL::Perl::GSSAPI - GSSAPI (Kerberosv5) Authentication class

SYNOPSIS
	 use Authen::SASL qw(Perl);

	 $sasl = Authen::SASL->new( mechanism => 'GSSAPI' );

	 $sasl->client_start( $service, $host );

DESCRIPTION
       This method implements the client part of the GSSAPI SASL algorithm.

       With a valid Kerberos 5 credentials cache (aka TGT) it allows to con‐
       nect to service@host given as the first two parameters to
       Authen::SASL's client_start() method.

       Please note that this module does not currently implement a SASL secu‐
       rity layer following authentication. Unless the connection is protected
       by other means, such as TLS, it will be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle
       attacks. If security layers are required, then the Authen::SASL::Cyrus
       GSSAPI module should be used instead.

       CALLBACK

       user
	   The username to be used in the response
