Unable to find LoginModule class: com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule

Question

Hi I am trying to start Websphere using Spnego Authentication. When the login should occur i am getting this exception

javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: unable to find LoginModule class: com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule in SpnegoHttpFilter init method.

Any ideas why it is unable to find this class?

Answer 1

It seems that IBM J9 JVM doesn't have com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule. It has com.ibm.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule. And it can be used.
