    Subject: GSSAPI and Java

Based on some mail from Mike Eisler and Mayank Upadhyay to cat-ietf in
September of last year, it looks like Sun was working on a Java GSSAPI
layer. Unfortunately, the cat-ietf archives on bitsy don't go past
January of this year, and there is no mention of GSSAPI in any of the
Sun documentation I've seen.

Did this effort go anywhere, even if only at the specification level?
(Since Sun might not release its source code publicly, specifications
are probably of greater interest to me anyway.) Is it still being
worked on? I just don't want to go off in my own direction if Sun or
some other group is close to having their own specification done.
