Description

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2122617

Description of problem:
POST, PUT and DELETE calls fail with "Unable to authenticate user" when using kerberos authentication. At the same time, GET calls pass without any issues.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.12.0 snap 8

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a Satellite configured for Kerberos authentication.
2. Run kinit <someuser> to get ticket.
3. Call /extlogin to get session_id and store it in a cookie file:
  1. curl -k -c cookies.txt -u : --negotiate https://satellite.redhat.com/users/extlogin
    4. Using the cookie file try GET call to some endpoint, it works:
  2. curl -b cookies.txt -H "Accept:application/json,version=2" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X GET -k https://satellite.redhat.com/api/architectures
    5. Using the same cookie file try POST/PUT/DELETE call to create/update/delete an entity:
  3. curl -b cookies.txt -H "Accept:application/json,version=2" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST -d '{"name":"8051"}' -k https://satellite.redhat.com/api/architectures

Actual results:

It fails with this response: {
"error": {"message":"Unable to authenticate user "}
}

In the production log we can see:
