[jira] [Updated] (HTTPCLIENT-1394) Native windows Negotiate/NTLM via JNA

["Ryan McKinley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Ryan McKinley updated HTTPCLIENT-1394:
--------------------------------------

    Attachment: HTTPCLIENT-1394-jna.patch

Here is a patch adding a WindowsNegotiateScheme that uses JNA.

Take a look and let me know what you guys think.

Big open questions:
1. What should we do with Credentials?  This adds a singleton CurrentUserCredentials, but it is not really used

2. Testing?  are there useful tests we can add without a server side implementation?  For the existing NTLM, i see assertions for the engine, but not the schema.  For Kerberose and SPNego I don't see anything.

3. Default configuration?  This implementation obviously needs to prove itself, but should this be the default on windows rather than SPNegoSchemeFactory?

> HttpClient has made great progress in supporting NTLM and Negotiate, but the setup often requires considerable configuration.  Using native calls, we can authenticate the current logged in user directly via windows with no configuration.
