Important notice for customers that are using Java 8 and Kerberos authentication:

There is a Kerberos authentication bug in the Oracle JDK >= 8u40.

This bug may cause authentication problems on the FirstSpirit start page.

The official bug ID is: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8078133

We do not recommend to update the FirstSpirit server:smileyalert: to a JDK version >= 8u40 until this bug is fixed.

The bug is not fixed in the last JDK release (8u45)!

The version of the JDK/JRE on the client side (local computer) is not relevant.
