Hi Maxim,

(1)(2) libmapi is currently using NTLMSSP for authentication which is
why you need to supply username and password.

(3) libmapi doesn't provide kerberos support yet, but since we are using
the Samba4 DCERPC stack and samba4 supports krb5 properly, there is
normally no technical blocking factors. It is just a matter of finding
available resources to work on this and update the code to add krb5
support.

Cheers,
Julien.
