WebAuth 3.4.0 has finally been released, after a couple weeks of work spread out over the last couple of months. This is the big SPNEGO support release. The Weblogin server component now supports any Apache auth mechanism to do the initial login, allowing bypass of username/password authentication. This lets one use an SPNEGO module such as mod_auth_kerb to do SPNEGO authentication and get single sign-on back. It will also allow use of such things as client-side certificates down the road.
I also finally got rid of every compiler warning in WebAuth so it now builds clean under -Wall, and rewrote the protocol specification completely so it should be cleaner and somewhat more readable now. There are other minor bug fixes and documentation improvements.
You can get the latest version from the WebAuth site, which still needs some web page work as soon as I can find the time.
