Jabberd 2.6.1 polling kerberos when not configured for kerberos login

[olcrazypete]

Seeing an issue on a production jabberd instance where the server is tied to kerberos being available for the server. This server config has kerberos authentication specifically not configured, instead using a custom table on a postgresql server as the auth path. What has been observed several times now is that when the kerberos server (IPA) is not available to the jabberd server authentications hang. Doing strace of the c2s process shows kerberos calls before the call to the database for authentication.

Happy to provide any additional information or debugging logs.

I saw something earlier, and my slightly fuzzy memory is that I tracked it down to gsasl trying to contact the KDC when I don't see why it should. I do not remember finding a resolution.
