Spnego is an SPNEGO and Kerberos plugin for Glassfish. SPNEGO stands for Simple and Protected GSSAPI Negotiation Mechanism. SPNEGO is a standard GSSAPI pseudo-mechanism for peers to determine which GSSAPI mechanisms are shared, select one and then establish a security context with it. Kerberos is a computer network authentication protocol, which allows individuals communicating over an insecure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure manner
Spnego is available under a CDDL v1.0 open source license and is actively developed, maintained and supported.
Spnego-1.0 has been released. This version has been tested on Glassfish V2. Full documentation is provided in the rest of this site to enable you to use it. Enjoy!
The intent is for spnego to be easy to use. A full website for the project has been created.
The Spnego project has started. We are targeting Glassfish V2 initially on JDK5 and JDK6.
