I worked through a bunch of this for pam-krb5 back in the day and made it
support a set of reasonable things, including anonymous PKINIT to
establish the FAST armor.  People who are working in this area may find
its source code useful to look at, although I think there have been
improvements since then and what it does may no longer be best practice.
