When enabled, the implementation preemptively includes a CBT with authentication requests over Kerberos. The feature is enabled as follows:
>> 
>> A system property "jdk.spnego.cbt" is defined which can have the values "never" (default), which means the feature is disabled, "always", which means the CBT is included for all https Negotiate authentications, or it can take the form "domain:a,b.c,*.d.com" which is a comma separated list of domains/hosts where the feature is enabled, and disabled everywhere else. In the given example, the CBT would be included in authentication requests for hosts "a", "b.c" and all hosts under the domain "d.com" and all of its sub-domains.

Much easier to review now :-)
