Andre-John Mas commented on CMIS-245:
-------------------------------------

At the company where I work, Kerberos is used for authentication, as well, via 
SPNEGO. 

The one thing I am wondering, and I haven't explored the chemistry code yet, is 
whether Kerberos authentication should be handled by the HTTP client layer 
transparently? When I have time I will explore this and let you know if I come 
up with anything useful. 
                
> Support multiple server authentication types (Kerberos especially)

> Many Alfresco installs use Kerberos for authentication.  cmislib should 
> support this authentication scheme and possibly others.
> There is a urllib2 auth system for Kerberos available:
