public class SpnegoAuthenticator extends AuthenticatorBase
A SPNEGO authenticator that uses the SPNEGO/Kerberos support built in to Java 6. Successful Kerberos authentication depends on the correct configuration of multiple components. If the configuration is invalid, the error messages are often cryptic although a Google search will usually point you in the right direction.
