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

SYNOPSIS
         use Authen::SASL qw(Perl);

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

         $sasl->clientstart( $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
       connect to service@host given as the first two parameters to
       Authen::SASL's clientstart() method.

       Please note that this module does not currently implement a SASL
       security 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.
