GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 593569
Does not support GSSAPI/Kerberos authentication
Last modified: 2018-08-03 19:24:34 UTC
Steps to reproduce: * connect to a site that requires Kerberos for authentication (e.g. using apache's mod-auth-kerb module) * A password dialog appears Exptected behaviour: * if the user has a valid TGT he's not being prompted for a password but a service ticket is acquiered from the KDC and the user can connect to the site This works with epiphany-gecko.
This lack of feature is still annoying. It would be great if someone could handle it.
some progress has been made on the libsoup side. There will also need to be some sort of configuration on the epiphany side, as mentioned briefly in bug 587145 comment 17.

Still an issue?
Yes, although I think some Red Hat people might be looking at this soon.

TBH I don't understand the comment, what sort of configuration are we talking about? A preferences dialog? Would this be handled by g-o-a instead nowadays?

You need to be able to say "if *.redhat.com requests Negotiate auth, then send my REDHAT.COM kerberos tickets there, but if other sites request it then don't". Or something. There's ongoing discussion about exactly what's needed. But anyway, yes, it sounds like it might end up in g-o-a.
Dan, please don't require configuration. Please just do Negotiate automatically if the site is doing valid HTTPS.
