Hi,

basic kerberos support can be activated (-DWITH_GSSAPI=ON), but it is
currently more or less in an alpha state (various issues and nobody
actively working on improving it)

As for the NLA issue, you could just remove the line and check if it
works (there have been some improvements regarding NLA, so the force off
might be outdated)


regards

Armin
