I searched http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list and don't see any
outstanding requests for Kerberos support.

In my own work I'd seen references to some Kerberos cipher suites, but they
obviously can't be implemented on their own without other Kerberos
infrastructure.

Is there some specific java.* or javax.* API or server provider API you are
specifically targeting?

I'm somewhat familiar with Kerberos having ported it across
more traditional OS's in my youth, but have little experience with it in a
Java environment, and have not thought out the general issues that might be
present when each app runs in an independent UID with regard to how ticket
management etc might work.
