            Description

            We had a 4.2.c installation working for 3 years with following configuration

            authentication.chain=alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm,kerberos1:kerberos,ldap1:ldap-ad

kerberos.authentication.realm=KEENSOFT.LOCAL
kerberos.authentication.user.configEntryName=Alfresco
kerberos.authentication.defaultAdministratorUserNames=admin
kerberos.authentication.cifs.configEntryName=AlfrescoCIFS
kerberos.authentication.cifs.password=keensoft
kerberos.authentication.http.configEntryName=AlfrescoHTTP
kerberos.authentication.http.password=keensoft
kerberos.authentication.sso.enabled=true

            Users were accessing via IE browser with SSO but the other protocols (WebDAV, SPP and CMIS) were accepting basic auth.

            We are migrating to 5.1.g and we have applied the same configuration. Kerberos SSO is working, but the other protocols are producing a non ending loop of Kerberos challenges:

            Unable to find source-code formatter for language: bash. Available languages are: actionscript, html, java, javascript, none, sql, xhtml, xml

            It seems that this feature has been broken in some point between 4.2.c and 5.1.g

                  Is this the same issue reported in MNT-15866 and ALF-21607?

                  We released a fix for it in Alfresco Community Edition 201609 EA. If you can reproduce it on that release we will look into it further.

                  Thanks for the report.

                  No, it's the same issue as ALF-21521.

                  As it has been catalogued as "Won't fix", you can catalogue this as "Won't fix".

                  I'm going to evaluate the alternative given by Kevin.

                  Thanks
