JDK-7152121 - Krb5LoginModule no longer handles keyTabNames with "file:" prefix
Description
The newly added FileKeyTab.java test fails on Windows because it creates a file

  server {
    com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required
    principal="server/host.rabbit.hole"
    debug=true useKeyTab=true
    keyTab="file:C:\tmp\RR1\W\scratch\localkdc.ktab"
    storeKey=true;
  };

Here the keyTab line is illegal before JAAS config file is parsed with a StreamTokenizer and "\" is treated as a escape char.

EVALUATION Replace all "\" to "/". ConfigFile recognizes "/" as File.separatorChar on all platforms.
