For HTTP the complete set being considered is 'BASIC, Digest, 
Certificate i.e. SSL and Kerberos/SPNEGO' - what are you using for your 
connections to the server?  There is quite a bit of client side support 
for all these mechanisms in Java already.

I don't think the HTTP side will be too difficult to support but using 
Remoting will also automatically give you all of the supported 
mechanisms for the Native connections.
