I'm not sure why you're not being prompted under Windows (perhaps you're
configured to use SSPI, rather than Kerberos for Windows?). On the Mac,
the ticket prompter is specifically disabled. This is because of the
GSSAPI support code's original role in supporting Firefox's
NegotiateAuth implementation - fixing this in some way is bug #307788 @
bugzilla.mozilla.org
