    Description

      Sometimes —apparently— some people cannot get kerberos to work.

      The ability to diagnose problems here is hampered by some aspects of UGI

      1. the only way to turn on JAAS debug information is through an env var, not within the JVM
      2. failures are potentially underlogged
      3. exceptions raised are generic IOEs, so can't be trapped and filtered
      4. failure handling on the TGT renewer thread is nonexistent
      5. the code is barely-readable, underdocumented mess.
