Yes.

Yes.

But the issue is: with the existing AM, it supports multiple credentials for
different hosts. If there were a separate tab for Kerberos, I assume it could
support multiple Kerboros entries for different hosts. How would the GUI
support both Kerberos and non-Kerberos? It would be very odd if some of the
credentials were not visible but were still active.

So I suspect we either need to somehow use the same table, or perhaps add
another table that is visible concurrently.
