Could you elaborate a little bit about the motivation related to this and what 
is the associated issue?

Before going into detail I would like to understand this flow (at first sight, 
it vaguely reminded me the use of IAKERB where the RP is IAKERB proxy. But it 
seems you are pursuing a different thing). It seems that the RP is acting as 
Kerberos client that uses a GSS-API based pre-authentication mechanism and the 
content of the gss-api token contains the gss-eap token provided by the user. 
Is that right? 

Best regards and thanks in advance.
