If you want to pass in a UID.. that's not portable (a username would
be OK though).  And you'll probably also want to pass in a PID, PAG,
...  All not portable.

I recommend an API and UI for listing the compiled-in and configured
search orders, plus an API and UI for listing the effective
ccache/keytab for the calling process.  Anything beyond is OK, but
ideally we'd use string identifiers for users and sessions, else the
interfaces will be non-portable.
