Hi Roman,

Here is my experimental SPNEGO Filter:
  http://git.kato.mvc.mcc.ac.uk/bruno/spnegofilter.git/

It provides a Negotiate and a Basic challenge at the same time.
It works at least for small tests, but it's definitely not ready for production usage. I haven't used much of the existing Guards and related classes; I haven't looked deeply into what would need to be changed for this particular filter yet. You'll need Restlet 1.1-M5 or something close enough if you want to try it out, because it uses multiple challenges (1) and the new context system. It also requires Java 6.

Best wishes,

Bruno.

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
