Only to mention that then Kerberos MUST be supported according to the RFC. This is a lengthy thing to do. (Templates exist though.) I will not implement it. Really, what is a "SOCKS server"? I only ever have used SOCKS to be able to redirect client traffic via a generic interface .. over SSH .. to a server, and from there the "real" connection is then performed. In this scenario SSH is responsible for the authentication. My use case is over for now, WireGuard has replaced it. (But *maybe* i will switch to ipsec, yet that is work to be done.) Having said that, Kerberos is cool, and i'd wish *it* would have been pushed by the giants instead of OAuth, and if only for some more user control.
