Abstract

This document describes how the Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) and Internet Information Services (IIS) incorporated in Microsoft Windows 2000 use Kerberos for security enhancements of web transactions. The HTTP auth-scheme of 'negotiate' is defined here; when the negotiation results in the selection of Kerberos, the security services of authentication and optionally impersonation are performed. This document explains how HTTP authentication utilizes the SPNEGO [7] GSSAPI mechanism. Details of SPNEGO implementation are not provided in this document.
