OK, let's see if this clarifies:

a) user browses to https://afswebserver.domain.whatever/
b) user is prompted for a AFS login name and password
    (afswebserver  is a client of AFS cell "/afs/domain.whatever/")
c) user's webserver connection then has authentication to access his/her 
AFS filespace.
    Webserver shows a "directory listing" of /afs/domain.whatever/.
d) user is then able to navigate through the directory listing and 
list/download.

In addition, other people may connect and authenticate to the same
web server concurrently and have their own separate authentication (PAG).

I don't think it should matter if the cell uses default AFS kerberos or 
krb5.
