SPNEGO on Bluemix Liberty

On the Bluemix Liberty feature list, it says Spnego-1.0 is supported. Does anyone have any Bluemix documentation (not plain Liberty, because this would mean I installed the Liberty server on my own enterprise domain) on how to even begin to use this? It seems to me that if SPN are locked down to a domain name, how would this even work for an app running on a domain such as this: "www.ng.bluemix.net"?

Does this mean there is a requirement to have Bluemix infrastructure installed onto our enterprise infrastructure to even begin thinking about Spnego?

SPNEGO makes sense if you're trying to achieve SSO between say a Microsoft Desk Top and say a WASaaS (WAS or Liberty) running a web app in a Softlayer VM behind a private firewall, then a SPNEGO solution would work. In a more public setting, OpenID Connect should be considered as an option.

If SPNEGO really needs to be used, see the Liberty documentation. You can then customize a Liberty server.xml file in Bluemix to get this to work. To use a custom Liberty server.xml file, see the info noted under standalone applications.
