[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of Security on JBoss] - Negotiate with Kerberos

[cdelashmutt]

I'm working (very slowly :D ) on a plug in for JBoss AS to allow it to use Silent Authentication against a Kerberos domain.  Mainly, I'm doing this to allow browsers supporting SPNEGO to silently authenticate with a web site.  Prevents users from having to remember user ids and passwords for internal resources, since it can just pass through their existing Kerberos credentials.

I just wanted to let anyone interested know that there was slight updated made to the wiki detailing some configuration differences between using this plug in with a JBoss AS server installed via the ZIP file, versus the JBoss AS server installed via the JBoss Installer jar.

You can view the updated instructions (basically just step 3) at http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=NegotiateKerberos
