SPNEGO authentication fails on Windows-KDC

XMLWordPrintable

      Inside the "SPNEGOLoginModule" (3.0.0.CR2-SNAPSHOT) the run()-Method of inner class "AcceptSecContext" checks for existence of Kerberos-oid within the SPNEGO-Token. But it checks solely the first element of the mechanism-list:

      	if (mechList.get(0).equals(kerberos))
      	{
      	 gssToken = negTokenInit.getMechToken();
      	}
      	else
      	{
      	 boolean kerberosSupported = false;
      	 ...
      

      But SPNEGO-Token from Windows-KDC (2008 R2) supports four types of authentication (oids):

      • oid: 1.2.840.48018.1.2.2 (Windows Kerberos V5)
      • oid: 1.2.840.113554.1.2.2 (Kerberos V5 - we are looking for)
      • oid: 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.2.2.30 NegoEx
      • oid: 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.2.2.10 NTLM

      So Kerberos-check within run()-method should iterate the mechList until it founds Kerberos-V5-oid:

                     for (Oid oid : mechList)
                      {
                   	   if (oid.equals(kerberos))
                         {
                  		   gssToken = negTokenInit.getMechToken();
                                 break;
                  	   }
                     }
