Hi Douglas,

Please find full documentation about JAAS kerberos login module
configuration here:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jaas/spec/com/sun/security/auth/module/Krb5LoginModule.html

You can extend that gssapi.conf file according to the documentation.

Best regards, vadim tarassov
