Openjdk 8u392b08 doesn’t fall back to the system default krb5.conf file if it doesn’t find a file in java.security.krb5.conf default location

ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Redhat linux 7.9.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have a tomcat 9 installation that uses SPNEGO based kerberos authentication to our Windows Active Directory infrastructure. This has been working for years. When I upgraded to 8u392 it stopped working. DOwngraded back to 382 and it was fine. So the problem was introduced in 392.


REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Set up Tomcat windows auth as per https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/windows-auth-howto.html
Browse to a tomcat site from a logged in windows machine.



EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Kerberos authentication information provided to tomcat applications without requiring login.
ACTUAL -
Prompts for login information. Does not authenticate properly.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Downgrade to 382

FREQUENCY : always
