HTTP Negotiate and Basic authentication

[Roman Geus]

Hello all

I'm new to Restlet and would like to implement a REST interface for an 
existing application using Restlet and JAX-RS.

I need to support both HTTP Negotiate and HTTP Basic authentication vs 
an Active Directory server.

The Restlet server should offer both authentication schemes and the 
client may choose one of them and send the appropriate credentials. The 
Restlet server will then validate the credentials using a Kerberos 
server (Active Directory).

I don't know how to implement the dual HTTP authentication scheme in 
Restlet. From looking at the code, it seems, that a custom Guard can 
only implement a single scheme. How can I support a second 
authentication scheme?

Also, Negotiate authentication is not supported out-of-the-box and the 
Negotiate ChallengeScheme is not predefined. Is it possible to support 
the Negotiate scheme without modifying the Restlet code?

Any help with this (example code, hints, pointers, ...) would be highly 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Roman
