You mean does your application call GSS-API, and does GSS-API use
the Kerberos mechanism.

Use ldd on the application executable to see what libs it loads.

You could do a network trace, and look at the packets to see if GSS-API
with Kerberos is bring used. Wireshark formats the GSS-API and Kerberos packets.
