      Currently Elytron SPNEGO authnetication is tcp connection scoped, whereas legacy SPNEGO for applications is http-session scoped.

      This different approach can bring these behaviour differences after migration from legacy to Elytron:

      • if deployment is behind reverse proxy it can lead to user "cross talk" (different http session, but same TCP connection) [1]
      • more frequent kerberos negotiation cycles
        • load balancer switches to another node (same http session, but new TCP connection)
        • new tab in browser (same http session, but new TCP connection) [2]
