Currently Java GSS/Kerberos supports DES and 3DES. Support for AES will be integrated shortly. We need to add support RC4 encryption type. Microsoft makes heavy use of RC4-HMAC, which is not an official standard, though there is a draft that describes how they used it. They choose RC4 for speed and because it has been around for a long time. MIT/Solaris have also added support for RC4-HMAC. Customers on Windows would like to use RC4-HMAC with Java Kerberos. Hence the requirement.
