[jira] Commented: (CMIS-245) Support multiple server authentication types (Kerberos especially)

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CMIS-245?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12998017#comment-12998017 ] 

Jeff Potts commented on CMIS-245:
---------------------------------

The library supports both username/password auth and Alfresco tickets for authentication (through extra parameters passed when constructing the CmisClient object).

Is it possible that you could use the urllib2 auth system to handle authentication in your own app, then retrieve a ticket, and then use that ticket to authenticate with cmislib?

> Many Alfresco installs use Kerberos for authentication.  cmislib should support this authentication scheme and possibly others.
> There is a urllib2 auth system for Kerberos available: http://limedav.com/hg/urllib2_kerberos/
