This isn't supported in the current code.

Sounds good. First you'd need to figure out how to perform a proxied 
authentiation
against kerberos. With the existing SASL/GSSAPI mechanism we don't need 
to do
that because we're simply passing through the authentication payload 
between GSSAPI
and the client. Presumably you'd need to do whatever 'kinit' does, but 
inside the DS.
