I'm trying to decode the GSS-API conversation between a client and server. I can see the traffic on the designated port, but when I select "Decode As", the GSS-API protocol doesn't appear.

It's not a "protocol" *per se*. It's not something that usually (if ever) occurs by itself, rather than encapsulated in some protocol such as ONC RPC, DCE RPC, HTTP, DNS, LDAP, SMB, etc.. The encapsulations differ enough that there's no "generic" GSS-API dissector used by all of them - the dissectors for those protocols independently incorporate knowledge of how to call GSS-API dissector functions.

What protocol is using GSS-API in your case?
