Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1103:
-----------------------------------------
Full Kerberos support did not make it out last release of HttpClient. It's
being worked on now, though, which makes it just possible we'll have it
available for development in April.
> Add Kerberos support for all connectors that currently use NTLM

> You can solve your local ticket store by using LoginContext and appropriate
> keytabs. Obtain the GSSCredential and go. Every connection instance can act
> independently. Regardless of the OS.
> If you cache the subject issued by the aforementioned LoginContext, you can
> always say: GssCredential#getRemainingLifetime or invoke a fresh LoginContext
> as you think fit.
> Unfortunately, HTTPClient does not support direct use of GSSCredential and
> always assumes implicit credential. Fortunately, there are several ways to
> solve that problem too.
