title: HttpClient Kerberos Keytab authentication without login.conf
body: <p>I can successfully send and receive HTTP requests to servers with kerberos, following <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/trunk/httpclient/src/examples/org/apache/http/examples/client/ClientKerberosAuthentication.java?p=820841" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> and stackoverflow instructions like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9885323/kerberos-connection-using-http-client">this</a> or others, and they all require login.conf. However, I'd like to know if there's anyway to get rid of the login.conf file, and set Kerberos authentication details programmatically.</p>
