Yes, it can be used on any platform that supports SPNEGO but its originally
part of Integrated Windows Authentication:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPNEGO and NTLM is the NT LAN Manager:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTLM

I suppose it can be reverted back to SPNEGO as NTLM is apparently a
sub-mechanism of SPNEGO.  The CVS repository is going to hate me pretty
soon... ;-)

As for suppport vs. adaptors, when we moved to Maven2 we created modules for
the different types of authentication mechanisms we support (i.e.
ca-server-support-spnego).
