Hi,

According to RFC2478, a negTokenInit consists of:

NegTokenInit ::= SEQUENCE {

                            mechTypes       [0] MechTypeList  OPTIONAL,
                            reqFlags        [1] ContextFlags  OPTIONAL,
                            mechToken       [2] OCTET STRING  OPTIONAL,
                            mechListMIC     [3] OCTET STRING  OPTIONAL
                         }

ContextFlags ::= BIT STRING {

        delegFlag       (0),
        mutualFlag      (1),
        replayFlag      (2),
        sequenceFlag    (3),
        anonFlag        (4),
        confFlag        (5),
        integFlag       (6)

}

and

The mechListMIC is an optional field. In the case that the chosen 
mechanism supports integrity, the initiator may optionally include a 
mechListMIC which is the result of a GetMIC of the MechTypes in the 
initial NegTokenInit and return GSS_S_COMPLETE. 

---------------------------------------------------------------
That is, the mechListMic should be a Message Integrity Code, not an 
indicator of the default mechType it would like negotiated.
