I did not find a lot of documentation for connecting to SQL SERVER using Kerberos authentication and JAVA. So I decided to write this little blog post up.

The key piece of information is using authenticationScheme=JavaKerberos in the connection string.
This works on both Windows and Linux Operating System as long as you have Kerberos ticket. You can verify if you have a Kerberos ticket by typing klist on the command line.
You should see something like the following for your user.

[user1@vm01 ~]$ klist
Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_16777216_kbQnZ2
