The Macintosh uses a credential cache server to hold the ticket cache. There is no such server running for background services. You would need to write your own code to get credentials from the keytab (krb5_get_init_creds_keytab) and hold them in an in-memory cache. You then need to point gss to your in-memory cache using gss_krb5_ccache_name.
