Java Generic Security Services (Java GSS)

The following enhancements were added to the Java GSS/Kerberos implementation in Java SE 6. For details, see the JGSS Feature Enhancements List.

Support for AES Encryption Type

Support for AES encryption type (AES128 and AES256) in Java GSS/Kerberos is available. This improves interoperability of the Java SE Kerberos implementation with other Kerberos implementations, such as Solaris 10 and MIT Kerberos.
Support for RC4-HMAC Encryption Type

Support for RC4-HMAC encryption type in Java GSS/Kerberos is available. This improves interoperability of the Java SE Kerberos implementation with other Kerberos implementations, such as Windows, Solaris 10 and MIT Kerberos. Windows Active Directoiory supports RC4-HMAC as the default Kerberos encryption type.
Support for SPNEGO in Java GSS

Support for SPNEGO mechanism in Java GSS is now available. The Simple and Protected GSS-API Negotiation (SPNEGO) mechanism is a pseudo security mechanism that enables GSS-API peers to securely negotiate a common security mechanism to be used.

Support for SPNEGO authentication scheme in HTTP is also available.
Support for new Pre-Authentication Mechanisms

Java GSS/Kerberos now includes support for the new pre-authentication mechanisms as described in the latest Kerberos specification.
Native Platform GSS Integration

This feature allows Java GSS applications to take advantage of features in the native GSS implementation available on the platform.
