Thunar doesn't use Kerberos tickets in unprivileged containers

Hello,

I have an unprivileged LXC container in Proxmox with Xfce installed. The container is a member of Active Directory domain.
I also have Samba server which is a member of the same domain.

In a non-container environment or in privileged containers when I open Samba links in Thunar: smb://smb-srv/share - it automatically uses Kerberos ticket if it's available.
But in unprivileged containers it always asks for username/password even if the ticket exists.

Kerberos tickets definitely work in unprivileged containers, e.g. Chromium is able to use them for proxy authentication.

Any tips on how to solve this?

Container OS: ALT Linux.
Xfce version: 4.16.

Re: Thunar doesn't use Kerberos tickets in unprivileged containers

Problem solved: it seems gio/gvfs doesn't work well with Kerberos cache stored in files in unprivileged containers.
I switched to KCM cache and everything works fine now.
