+# Authentication Scheme restrictions for HTTP and HTTPS.
+#
+# In some environments certain authentication schemes may be undesirable
+# when proxying HTTP or HTTPS.  For example, "Basic" results in effectively the
+# cleartext transmission of the user's password over the physical network.
+# This section describes the mechanism for disabling authentication schemes
+# based on the scheme name. Disabled schemes will be treated as if they are not
+# supported by the implementation.
+#
+# The 'jdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes' property lists the authentication
+# schemes that will be disabled when tunneling HTTPS over a proxy, HTTP CONNECT.
+# The 'jdk.http.auth.proxying.disabledSchemes' property lists the authentication
+# schemes that will be disabled when proxying HTTP.
+#
+# In both cases the property is a comma-separated list of, case-insensitive,
+# authentication scheme names, as defined by their relevant RFCs. An
+# implementation may, but is not required to, support common schemes whose names
+# include: 'Basic', 'Digest', 'NTLM', 'Kerberos', 'Negotiate'.  A scheme that
+# is not known, or not supported, by the implementation is ignored.
+#
+# Note: This property is currently used by the JDK Reference implementation. It
+# is not guaranteed to be examined and used by other implementations.
