[security-dev 01656]: Re: Code review request: 6844909: support allow_weak_crypto in krb5.conf

[Valerie Peng]

Hi, Max,

Changes look fine, here are some minor comments:
1) In EType.java, line 60, 64 should be indented w/ one extra space.
2) In EType.java, there should be comments added to "BUILTIN_ETYPES", 
and "BUILTIN_ETYPES_NOAES256" mentioning about the first two entries are 
removed when ALLOW_WEAK_CRYPTO is false.
3) In EType.java, line 235 and 236 still mentions these weak crypto 
etypes regardless. Shouldn't it be updated?

Thanks,
Valerie

Note that this setting also removes any weak etypes in the default_*_enctypes settings. This config was added in MIT's krb5-1.7 and defaults to false in 1.8. However, for compatibility (which we care a lot in Java), its default value is still true in Java.
