The latter is orthogonal to the first one. For the latter we need to
support alternative keytab. For the first we need to add support for
the headers of the other authentication methods. I could do the
latter, but I'm really not inclined to spend time for the former. It
is not easy to implement and test (for me at least) and I have no use
case for it.
