Title : GSS-API: Delegate if approved by policy

Several GSS-API applications work in a multi-tiered architecture,
where the server takes advantage of delegated user credentials to act
on behalf of the user and contact additional servers. In effect, the
server acts as an agent on behalf of the user. Examples include web
applications that need to access e-mail or file servers as well as
CIFs file servers. However, delegating the ability to act as a user
to a party who is not sufficiently trusted is problematic from a
security standpoint. Kerberos provides a flag called OK-AS-DELEGATE
that allows the administrator of a Kerberos realm to communicate that
a particular service is trusted for delegation. This specification
adds support for this flag and similar facilities in other
authentication mechanisms to GSS-API (RFC 2743).
