Bug description:
  [SRU] 2.71:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/2118396

  [ Impact ]

  Programs that use Kerberos do not have access to Kerberos' tickets (by
  default, /tmp/krb5cc*) if snapped, resulting in denied access to
  documents that the user would otherwise be able to access if the
  program weren't snapped.

  [ Test Plan ]

  Requires a server that uses Kerberos authentication and a Ubuntu
  client, that for the following tests is presumed to have logged into
  the server's realm.

  1. Reproduce on snapd deb < 2.71

  Install the Firefox snap.

  Expect:
   - websites that used to work with SPNEGO/GSSAPI/kerberos do not work (access 
denied).
   - 'snap connect firefox:kerberos-tickets' fails because Snapd < 2.71 does 
not yet have the corresponding slot.

  2. Prove fix on snapd 2.71

  First connect the new plug:

    snap connect firefox:kerberos-tickets

  Then access a document from said server, it should work.

  [ Regression potential ]

  Unauthorized snaps (i.e., without kerberos-tickets connection) have
  access to the tickets.

  Snaps fail to launch due to some bug in the implementation logic
  merged in https://github.com/canonical/snapd/pull/15519.

  ---original---

  Workaround
  ----------

  Add

    default_ccache_name = FILE:/run/user/%{euid}/krb5cc

  to the [libdefaults] section of /etc/krb5.conf so that the Kerberos
  credentials are stored in a file path a snapped application can read.

  Acknowledgement: For many that can't work for {different reasons}, as
  stated in multiple comments below. Nonetheless it is worth a mention.

  Original report
  ---------------

  I configure AuthServerWhitelist as documented:

  https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/http-
  authentication

  and can see my whitelisted domains in chrome://policy/

  but websites that used to work with SPNEGO/GSSAPI/kerberos no longer
  work. I'm guessing the snap needs some sort of permission to use the
  kerberos ticket cache (or the plumbing to do so doesn't exist...).

  I can confirm that Chrome has the desired behavior.
