    Call External Kerberos protected Web Service

    some.java.developer

      Hello,

       

      is there an easy way to call an external web service that is protected by Kerberos?

      For example a windows like server that hosts some web services protected by Kerberos that need to be called by the ESB (using AD).

       

      I know spring security 3 integrates some implementation for Kerberos. We are using the fuse 4.2, so this uses spring 2.5.1 and not spring 3.

       

      Also most articles i can find seem to be implementing a server that protects some resources with Kerberos instead of a client that tries to access these resources.

       

      Apparently in the JVM there is something like the SASL API, which seems to support the GSS-API for Kerberos implementations, but it just seems a long way from home.

       

      Has anyone ever tried this?

       

      Regards,
