It is used to force to use the context that generate the socket, rather than the context of Krb5 (Note that Krb5Proxy in Krb5Helper is an static final instance).
I would suggest to pass AccessControlContext instead of Handshaker parameter if you only need the context. As the one for client side, for example: KerberosClientKeyExchange.init(init(String serverName, boolean isLoopback, AccessControlContext acc, ...) Do you want to file a simple enhancement request (CCC)? . KerberosClientKeyExchangeImpl.java ------------------------------------ Do you want to check the return value to make sure it is non-null or empty? Otherwise, it is possible to run into NPE when using the serverKeys. 188 KerberosKey[] serverKeys = AccessController.doPrivileged( An IOException will be thrown if the principal is not matched. I think we need to reserve the behavior. Is it possible to add a new test for the unbound krb5 in TLS?
