Normally, a client application doesn't need to use any APIs to make
PKINIT work; all you have to do is configure the client and KDC
appropriately using krb5.conf.

If you have a specific need to control PKINIT behavior from the
application, you can create a krb5_get_init_creds_opt object with
krb5_get_init_creds_opt_alloc and set PKINIT-specific attributes with
krb5_get_init_creds_opt_set_pa.  The attributes you can set this way are
described in the kinit man page under the description of the -X
attribute (so X509_user_identity, X509_anchors, and flag_RSA_PROTOCOL).
 You may also need to refer to the krb5.conf man page where it talks
about the pkinit_identities and pkinit_anchors variables.
