Hi Christopher
I'm not familiar with that function. So it reads the user's secret key
from a keytab and try to decrypt the TGT to see if it can successfully
get the session key inside?
This is a part of the Krb5LoginModule login process: it receives a TGT
from the KDC and use either the password or keytab (depending on your
JAAS config file) to decrypt it. After the commit() method is called,
the credentials (containing both the TGT and the session key) are stored
as private credentials in the JAAS subject.
All public methods we have around Kerberos are APIs defined in JAAS and
JGSS.
BTW, this mailing list is used to discuss the development of OpenJDK
security libraries itself. For API usage or general technical support,
it would be better to post a question in the forum. There are much more
experts on application programming there.

How do I get the com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule login
module to verify the TGT against a key in the keytab like is done in
