        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.
