Description

Currently authentication in lens works by taking username/password while opening a session and validating it.

This change will add support of SPNEGO support in lens server and clinet so that it can negotiate the authentication scheme. Currently only Negotiate(Kerberos) scheme is implemented but others like Basic/Digest etc can be added as well later.
