Yes, the relevant SPNEGO token is basically a wrapped AP-REQ wihch is
composed of a service ticket and an authenticator. I believe the TGT
or what is used to build a TGT is in the authenticator (at least
that's what WireShark calls it). Incidentally the encrypted part of
the service ticket contains the authorization data (the PAC if it was
issued by AD) which I assume is combined with the TGT data in the
authenticator to build a TGT with authorization data. Otherwise it
would have to dupe that data and the size of blobs in the SPNEGO token
doesn't represent that.
