Preface

This is a book about spnego.

Audience

The intended audience for this book is developers who use spnego. It should be able to be used to start from scratch, get up and running quickly, and also be useful for the more complex options.

It is also intended for application and enterprise architects.

Book Format

This is the first time that the spnego documentation has been put in book form suitable for use as an online PDF or printed. It is designed to be printed from PDF, so blank pages have been deliberately left to give a good flow.
