JAAS and GSS-API Tutorial Question

843811Apr 9 2003 — edited Jan 21 2004
I am running the JAAS and GSS-API tutorial from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/security/jgss/tutorials/BasicClientServer.html. I am running in a Windows 2000 Active Directory environment. It appears to be running correctly, but I have a question. Every time it is run, it asks for the User ID (it supplies a default of my current login name) and then a password. The server also asks for the same information. I am running the client and server on the same machine, so the user ID and password entered for both are identical.

I was under the impression, however, that either GSS-API or JAAS using Kerberos would be able to obtain credentials without asking for the user ID and password, because I am already logged on. Is there something I need to change in the example do this? I am missing something else?

Thank you.
Craig
