Not really. GSSAPI is a generic interface, it is not a Kerberos-specific
library. Therefore it does not actually have any knowledge of the
details of a kerberos ticket. All that GSSAPI sees is a generic
"credential"
data structure.

You would have to use Kerberos APIs to parse that specific
information from the ticket.
