     * For each supported attribute type, the type for the output are
     * defined below.
     * <ol>
     * <li>{@code KRB5_GET_TKT_FLAGS}:
     * the returned object is a boolean array for the service ticket flags,
     * which is long enough to contain all true bits. This means if
     * the user wants to get the <em>n'th bit but the length of the
     * returned array is less than <em>n, it is regarded as false.
     * <li>{@code KRB5_GET_SESSION_KEY}:
     * the returned object is an instance of {@link java.security.Key},
     * which has the following properties:
     *    <ul>
     *    <li>Algorithm: enctype as a string, where
     *        enctype is defined in RFC 3961, section 8.
     *    <li>Format: "RAW"
     *    <li>Encoded form: the raw key bytes, not in any ASN.1 encoding
     *    </ul>
     * <li>{@code KRB5_GET_AUTHZ_DATA}:
     * the returned object is an array of
     * {@link com.sun.security.jgss.AuthorizationDataEntry}, or null if the
     * optional field is missing in the service ticket.
     * <li>{@code KRB5_GET_AUTHTIME}:
     * the returned object is a String object in the standard KerberosTime
     * format defined in RFC 4120 5.2.3
     * </ol>

     * with the name {@code type.mech} must be granted. Otherwise, this could

     * delegation should be performed. This request can only be made on the
     * context initiator's side and it has to be done prior to the first
     * call to <code>initSecContext.
     * <p>
     * When this flag is false, delegation will only be tried when the
     * {@link GSSContext#requestCredDeleg(boolean) credentials delegation flag}

     * <p>
     * When this flag is true but the

     * is false, delegation will be only tried if the delegation policy permits
     * delegation.
     * <p>
     * When both this flag and the
     * {@link GSSContext#requestCredDeleg(boolean) credentials delegation flag}
     * are true, delegation will be always tried. However, if the delegation
     * policy does not permit delegation, the value of
     * {@link #getDelegPolicyState} will be false, even
     * if delegation is performed successfully.
     * <p>
     * In any case, if the delegation is not successful, the value returned
     * by {@link GSSContext#getCredDelegState()} is false, and the value
     * returned by {@link #getDelegPolicyState()} is also false.

     * Not all mechanisms support delegation policy. Therefore, the
     * application should check to see if the request was honored with the
     * {@link #getDelegPolicyState() getDelegPolicyState} method. When
     * delegation policy is not supported, <code>requestDelegPolicy
     * should return silently without throwing an exception.
     * <p>
     * Note: for the Kerberos 5 mechanism, the delegation policy is expressed
     * through the OK-AS-DELEGATE flag in the service ticket. When it's true,
     * the KDC permits delegation to the target server. In a cross-realm
     * environment, in order for delegation be permitted, all cross-realm TGTs
     * on the authentication path must also have the OK-AS-DELAGATE flags set.
