Error description
Error Message: A GSSException is seen while running the SpnegoTokenHelper to add SPNEGO credential to an existing GSSCredential by calling GSSCredential.add() in Java 8. This same call succeeds in Java 7 and the SPNEGO credential is successfully added. . Stack Trace: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: org.ietf.jgss.GSSException, major code: 13, minor code: 0 major string: Invalid credentials minor string: SubjectCredFinder: no JAAS Subject .
Local fix
Problem summary
SPNEGO Credential is failed to be created in Java 8 if the current Subject is null
Problem conclusion
The behavior difference between Java 7 and Java 8 in creating SPNEGO credential is due to the implementation difference. Java 8 expects there is a Subject existing to proceed to get the credential while Java 7 creates the credential directly. The fix is to fallback to Java 7 implementation if Java 8 implementation fails.
