Feature Description

We are running our Gitea server on Linux, while our developers are using Windows desktops. We want them to be able to use Git with integrated Windows authentication, which primarily relies on GSSAPI (Kerberos).

We have successfully implemented this authentication scheme using Apache HTTPD as a reverse proxy. The configuration makes use of ENABLE_REVERSE_PROXY_AUTHENTICATION, which has been very convenient for us. However, we have encountered several issues with API URLs. The API extensively utilizes personal tokens, so GSSAPI authentication must not be used for API URLs. Since ENABLE_REVERSE_PROXY_AUTHENTICATION is a global setting, bypassing GSSAPI authentication for the API creates problems because the user is not defined in that context. This breaks NuGet registry integration with Visual Studio, for example.

It would be much simpler if Gitea could support GSSAPI natively.
