[jboss-as7-dev] SPNEGO authentication fails loading configuration

[Darran Lofthouse]

Hello Christoph,

At the moment JBoss Negotiation is very specific to the JBoss AS 4/5/6 
architecture - I have created the following so I can verify the 
behaviour in AS7: -

   https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-770

Due to the JVM requirements for AS7 I think JBoss Negotiation can be 
simplified a long way now.

Regards,
Darran Lofthouse.
