Local fix

  • N/A
    

Problem summary

  • Kerberos running on Non-Windows platforms incorrectly attempts
    to
                obtain login credentials from the native system by
    loading the
                NativeCreds shared library.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Kerberos has been updated to only attempt loading the
    NativeCreds
                shared library on Windows platforms.
                A fix is made to IBMJGSS/ibmjgssprovider.jar
