Hi All This is a request to backport a jdk8 fix into jdk7u6.
CR: 7144530: KeyTab.getInstance(String) no longer handles keyTabNames with "file:" prefix Weblink: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7144530 Description: We used to support specifying a keytab using a file-schemed URI, say, file:/etc/krb5/krb5.tab An RFE in JDK 7 rewrote the keytab reading codes and this is not supported anymore. This fix supports it again. The fix is already included in jdk8 as: URL: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/0243e7c0b0fb Reviewed-by: valeriep The patch for jdk7u6 is identical to the one in jdk8. I intend to push it to ssh://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-dev-gate/jdk Thanks Weijun
