//! SSPI/GSSAPI negotiation trait for integrated authentication.
//!
//! This trait provides a common interface for both Windows SSPI (`SspiAuth`)
//! and Unix GSSAPI (`IntegratedAuth`) authentication providers, enabling
//! the client login flow to handle SSPI token exchange generically.

/// the multi-step authentication handshake without knowing which
/// underlying mechanism is in use.
