<productname>SSPI</productname> authentication only works when both

or, on non-Windows platforms, when <productname>GSSAPI</productname>
is available.
<productname>SSPI</productname> and <productname>GSSAPI</productname>
interoperate as clients and servers, e.g., an
<productname>SSPI</productname> client can authenticate to an
<productname>GSSAPI</productname> server. It is recommended to use
<productname>SSPI</productname> on Windows clients and servers and
<productname>GSSAPI</productname> on non-Windows platforms.
