How long does Kerberos authentication last?
By default, all Kerberos Tickets have a 10 hour lifetime before they expire, and a maximum renewal period of 1 week. If you want to renew your ticket, you must do so before it expires. If you wait until after the 10 hours is up, then it is too late, and you must get a new one.

Why is NTLM instead of Kerberos?
NTLM is a properitary AuthN protocol invented by Microsoft whereas Kerberos is a standard protocol.

Is Kerberos supported on Windows in librdkafka?
The librdkafka based clients, such as confluent-kafka-dotnet, only support Kerberos authentication through SSPI (the native windows auth interface), which uses the currently logged on user as its credentials. There is currently no way to use the krb tools and libs to authenticate directly to a Kerberos server, it needs to go through SSPI.
