Add support for Kerberos and IWA in the EWM thick clients like EWM Eclipse Client when JAS is in use

Kerberos/SPNEGO authentication is only supported through the browser.

If username/password authentication is not going to work for the user, they would need to generate an application password, authenticate with JAS using the supported authentication method then generate an application password to be used in the future.

In the case of the application password, there would be an additional layer of responsibility for the end user, managing their tokens.

They may need to be regenerated and created as they expire or are lost. There is also some additional configuration that is required to get them to work with JAS.

This is unacceptable considering our company's Security Policy, as no type of password can be saved locally.


Also once configured to use application password, username and password authentication will no longer be accepted on application password enabled clients.

for additional details.
