+<p>Kerberos (the basis for integrated Windows authentication) requires careful

+<ul>
+<li>The host name of the Tomcat server must match the host name in the SPN
+exactly else authentication will fail. A checksum error may be reported in the
+debug logs in this case.</li>
+<li>The client must be of the view that the server is part of the local trusted
+intranet.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The areas where further testing is required include:</p>

<li>Does the domain name have to be in upper case?</li>
<li>Does the SPN have to start with HTTP/...?</li>
