Michael Osipov commented on CONNECTORS-1103:
--------------------------------------------

Nice you are citing my Sorceforge projects ;-) I plan add this too with an implicit {{GSSCredential}} but this should actually necessary because you can leverage a {{Subject}} insance with the private credentials and the {{doAs()}} to achieve the same. The internals of HttpClient would run in the scope of the explicit credential.

> You can solve your local ticket store by using LoginContext and appropriate keytabs. Obtain the GSSCredential and go. Every connection instance can act independently. Regardless of the OS.
> If you cache the subject issued by the aforementioned LoginContext, you can always say: GssCredential#getRemainingLifetime or invoke a fresh LoginContext as you think fit.
> Unfortunately, HTTPClient does not support direct use of GSSCredential and always assumes implicit credential. Fortunately, there are several ways to solve that problem too.
