Hi Gasgain/BR (?) -
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
This is very much a bug and it seems that we have debug on by default via
gateway-site.xml with:
<property>
<name>sun.security.krb5.debug</name>
<value>true</value>
<description>Boolean flag indicating whether to enable debug messages
for krb5 authentication</description>
</property>
Would you be able to file a JIRA for this?
It is something that I would like to get into the next release (0.10.0).
Thanks again!
