The result is flagged in this session variable:

 

 

session.logon.last.username.sso.state- This is set to 1 internally when Kerberos SSO fails. When this variable is set, all subsequent requests are passed to the application server without applying SSO for the remainder of the user session. The variable name is constructed by appending .sso.state to the name specified in Username Source.
