Clarify workaround possibility in Kerberos setup
What does this MR do?
In MR !69945 (merged) a note was added claiming that GitLab CI will not work at all on a Kerberos integrated instance.
This can be worked around if the integration is setup to use separate ports.
While the choice of doing this depends on the administrators because it involves certain overheads in instructing users to use one port over other in specific scenarios, the workaround should allow GitLab CI/CD to continue to work over the default HTTP authentication ports.
This change adds some clarifications on:
- What the fix in Git 2.4 truly supports
- What is necessary for Kerberos integration to work with GitLab CI/CD

Review checklist
Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.
-
If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert. - Technical writer review items:
-
Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date. -
Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR. - If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
-
The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior
, say something likeDefault behavior when you close an issue
. -
The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK
, say something likeConfigure GDK
. -
Any task steps should be written as a numbered list. - If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
