I have a Java application running on Windows that needs to authenticate to a webapp using Kerberos/SPNEGO. I'm aware of how to configure JAAS to achieve this, but I find the Java (JDK6 and JDK7beta) Kerberos implementation to be lacking a couple important features I need. For example, support for referrals or using the DNS to figure out the realm of a host (I have a multi-realm environment).

Is there a third-party module that can implement authentication using the Windows native SSPI? We've already gone through the trouble of configuring our Windows clients to work within our environment, it'd be nice to not have to do it again for Java. I'm aware of Waffle and its WindowsLoginModule, but it doesn't seem to do SSO as it requires users to re-enter their credentials into the application.

You're wrong about Waffle, go back to check it out.
