Thats by design. Technically GSSAPI is only one of the SASL mechanisms 
offered by the server. "secure authentication" just enables the SASL 
negotiation procedure which might result in something completely 
different than GSSAPI (DIGEST-MD5 in my case, or NTLM for Outlook, etc). 
Besides: "GSSAPI" or "Kerberos5" in a general purpose UI? WTF!
