Hi Andrew or Valerie Please take a review at this bug fix:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/6770883/webrev.01/ http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6770883 Basically. Since SPNEGO is a pseudo-mech that's meant to negotiate a real concrete mech, SPNEGO itself cannot be used as the underlying default mech under. Thanks Max
