/**
* This package contains utility classes related to the Kerberos network
* authentication protocol. They do not provide much Kerberos support
* themselves.<p>
*
* The Kerberos network authentication protocol is defined in
* <a href=http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4120.txt>RFC 4120</a>. The Java
* platform contains support for the client side of Kerberos via the
* {@link org.ietf.jgss} package. There might also be
* a login module that implements
* {@link javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule LoginModule} to authenticate
* Kerberos principals.<p>
*
* You can provide the name of your default realm and Key Distribution
* Center (KDC) host for that realm using the system properties
* {@code java.security.krb5.realm} and {@code java.security.krb5.kdc}.
* Both properties must be set.
* Alternatively, the {@code java.security.krb5.conf} system property can
* be set to the location of an MIT style {@code krb5.conf} configuration
* file. If none of these system properties are set, the {@code krb5.conf}
* file is searched for in an implementation-specific manner. Typically,
* an implementation will first look for a {@code krb5.conf} file in
* {@code <java-home>/conf/security} and failing that, in an OS-specific
* location.<p>
*
* The {@code krb5.conf} file is formatted in the Windows INI file style,
* which contains a series of relations grouped into different sections.
* Each relation contains a key and a value, the value can be an arbitrary
* string or a boolean value. A boolean value can be one of "true", "false",
* "yes", or "no", and values are case-insensitive.
*
* @since 1.4
