Hello,

Windows has changed the default such that the session key is not included in 
TGT, and for Windows SSO to work with Java implementation out of the box it 
will required AllowTGTSessionKey options to be added to the registry. However, 
this options has associated security risk as it expose the session key to all 
apps, and it also means that right now Kerberos SSO in Windows does not work 
out of the box

Looking at the Java bug database, there has been suggestion that Java could 
support SSPI as a JGSS-API provided which would allow Java to work out of the 
box without the AllowTGTSessionKey options. 
(http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6722928). However, in the 
evaluation it says:

Might support it, although I hope most of the functions of Windows SSPI can 
also be supported by pure Java. Interop is important between different platforms

I would like to understand what is the "Interop" concern here? Have we 
evaluated how much work need to do to support it (so that we can consider 
contributing the implementation)?
