gsslib for Android

Recently i found the port www/mod_auth_kerb2, and I also found this option in my www/firefox-esr: network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris.
And this appears to work; the firefox athenticates to the intranet webserver with the kerberos credentials from FreeBSD base.

Then I looked into the Android, and there the firefox also has this option network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris, so it seems that could be made working as well, to have the Adroid properly authenticate to the intranet.
But then, the Android does not have a place where I could install a /etc/krb5.conf, nor a kinit command I could execute.

Any idea how that might be realized?

Research found me a shop called "Hypergate" - but that seems to be a bit over-the-top; they want you to first come and ask them for a price quote (while it seems the matter is only a simple library compiled for the Android).
And the other is a show named "wolfSSL" - they appear to have the library, and they seem to explain how to include it when developing applications for Android. But I dont want to develop Apps, I just want to install the libary and then have the Firefox authenticate.

You should ask that question on an Android forum.
 
Yeh, maybe, but there they probably don't know what kerberos or GSSAPI is.

This is only of any use if you have a server infrastructure as the backend. Probably mostly used for corporate single-sign-on - and I don't know of any forum where one would find those people...
 

Great! Yes, that appears to be the other half of what I found interim!


Appears to be quite a dive into the Android stuff to make that work, but the over-all storyline makes sense to me. :)
