Kerberos credential delegation via urlconnect?

I am trying to set up a tomcat based intermediate server which will get delegated ticket from a java client and forward to a tomcat server/java server.

I have a tomcat servlet which handles delegated tickets. My issue is rather with the client

http://mydomain.example.com/examples/ is protected by a tomcat instance on a remote machine. in order to login I used :-

URL url = new URL("http://mydomain.example.com:8080/examples/"); InputStream ins = url.openConnection().getInputStream(); and then redirected the stream to a buffered reader.

However this method does not work for the delegated credential case.

Is there a flag or setting in urlconnection object? Is there another class(other than SpnegoHttpURLConnection that can acheive this ? )

Use Subject.doAs and your URLConnection will run in the security context of your delegated credential.
