use_gssapi boolean added in 2.11 of ansible.builtin	Choices: no ← yes	Use GSSAPI to perform the authentication, typically this is for Kerberos or Kerberos through Negotiate authentication. Requires the Python library gssapi to be installed. Credentials for GSSAPI can be specified with url_username/url_password or with the GSSAPI env var `KRB5CCNAME` that specified a custom Kerberos credential cache.
