Spnego / Kerberos support with hessian

Question

I crawled google a lot to find some documentation on the subject but did not find anything. I am trying to use a kerberos ticket to access a secured server but i get a 401 error.

What i do is add a header with the base64 encoded token before calling the web service

HessianConnection conn = ...    
conn.addHeader("Authorization", "Negotiate " + token);
...
conn.sendRequest();

I know that hessian supports Basic auth (HessianProxyFactory => setUser/PWD/BasicAuth), but i m not sure about Spnego/Negotiate.

Note that we managed to setup spnego with cxf in another project (It has HttpAuthSupplierImpl), but this one uses hessian.

Question : is it possible or i am wasting my time ? Thanks

Answer 1

Actually i checked HTTP traffic server side with wireshark, it seems that headers are correctly sent with this code. So this works and this question can be closed. The ticket is however not correctly recognized but this is another problem ...
