Using Negotiate does require setting a username. That's what the
credentials cache is for.

Stefan,
any news on this?
I made some digging in the subversion and neon code and notices some
interesting and odd stuff.
If you take a look at the aforementioned session.c in line 865 [1]
you'll see that the code is correct, Negotiate auth is added if no
proxy_username is set. So my assumption was correct. It should work
out-of-the box.
Digging deeper into that file shows that Negotiate auth for servers (not
proxy servers) is done only when the server is servered with HTTPS [2].
I took a look back at neon_auth.h (define NE_AUTH_NEGOTIATE) [3] and it
constantly says that Digest and Negotiate are unsecure and require a
secure connection which is complete non-sense. Kerberos was designed to
provide security in unsecure networks. This is definitively wrong
documentation.
What do you say?
Mike
