The Kerberos network authentication protocol is defined in
RFC 4120. The Java
platform contains support for the client side of Kerberos via the
org.ietf.jgss package. There might also be
a login module that implements
LoginModule to authenticate
Kerberos principals.
You can provide the name of your default realm and Key Distribution Center (KDC) host for that realm using the system properties java.security.krb5.realm and java.security.krb5.kdc. Alternatively, you can provide an MIT style configuration file called krb5.conf in <java-home>/lib/security. If you place this file elsewhere, you can indicate that location via the system property java.security.krb5.conf.
