Hi, If you setup an authentication which correctly sets the REMOTE_USER field then you should be able to use it with XWiki. You can then use the AppServerTrustedAuthentication module to accept your user and create it's user page. You can activate it using this in xwiki.cfg
xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.AppServerTrustedAuthServiceImpl Implementing XWiki in Kerberos itself is a lot of work and not really usefull since you can have it in Apache or the App server.
