Description of the new feature/enhancement

In the corporate environment where I work, we use MIT Kerberos to get tickets.
At the moment I'm using Putty to ssh into different servers, and I added a User-supplied GSSAPI library path, pointing to the MIT Kerberos gssapi64.dll.
In Putty this can be done in Connection/SSH/AUTH/GSSAPI

I would like to migrate to Windows Terminal but I couldn't find how to supply a custom GSSAPI to it.
Is it something that can potentially be implemented?

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I'm certain there's some way to configure ssh to do this, but unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with GSSAPI to be able to tell you exactly how.

I'm guessing based off of PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH#1295 that this is possible somehow...

This actually might be a better request for the https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH repo - they're more well versed in the details of ssh than we would be, and might be able to get you more specific feedback than we can provide.

thanks, that's a good point.
I'll try to see if there's a way to configure Win32-OpenSSH to achieve what I'm trying to do.
