This is a comment.  It is not sent to the Requestor(s):

However we do this, it would be good if callers had to go to minimum effort to
atomically refresh creds for a client principal.

One approach is a gic option to atomically store creds obtained by
krb5_get_init_creds_*(), to be used instead of
krb5_get_init_creds_opt_set_out_ccache(). This option could perhaps accept an
optional string argument to name the collection or ccache to refresh, and use
the default cache or collection otherwise.
