I have deployed JBoss Negotiate onto JBoss 4.2.3. Initially I tried to create the server users account using a generic name such as JBoss instead of the hostname of the machine. I couldn't get this working. After creating a username whose name matched the hostname of the JBoss server I was able to complete the Basic Negotiation and the Security Domain Test from another client. I am still not able to perform those from the server itself. IE works from the other clients, but neither IE, nor Firefox work on my client.

I read some suggestions to clear the cache, but I haven't found instructions on doing this.

When I try the Secured test I get the exception below. I wonder if there is a problem on my system which also runs the JBoss server which could be causing this ?
