The credential handle problem is already solved for init sec context,  
if you just can get hold of them.

GSS-API is part of the identity selection problem since its the holder  
of credentials.

The application/framework will need to drive authentication and select/ 
try credentials as it seems approproate and remember what of them was  
useful.

This would work today, if it was possible to get initial credentials  
and list existing/configured credentials
