Has anyone considered a full Kerberos approach? Oops! Can it be done?

I mean, a web browser authenticating via SPNEGO/GSSAPI and that ticket being
used for IMAP. I have a feeling that it cannot be done since the client tickets
are not compatible. Different services. One is HTTP/server.domain.com@REALM and
the other is IMAP/server.domain.com@REALM. That is not transferable, right?

Nix.
