In some systems, such as the MIT athena.dialup.mit.edu servers, AFS is used for home directories. AFS requires that Kerberos tickets are available to be converted to "tokens", so that files can be then be accessed. For a system that allows authentication via GSSAPIAuthenication, it's possible to get into a state where a user has successfully logged in, but then cannot read any files. To prevent this confusion, allow the system administrator to specify "GSSAPIRequireDelegatedCredentialsFor" with a group to force those users to also provide GSSAPIDelegateCredentials, or else drop down to keyboard-interactive/password authenication, which would allow a properly-configured PAM stack to then get tickets and tokens. This does not change any behavior of gss-openssh unless explicitly enabled by the system administrator.
