ssh to RHEL7 server joined to same AD domain as client causes "kerberos username" prompt

[gdoesu2]

We use Active Directory.
Win10 Client computer is a member of the domain.
RHEL7 computer is also joined to domain.
RHEL7 computer is GSSAPI capable
Win10 Client computer attempts to connect to RHEL7 computer using SSH "root@{rhel7_fqdn}" via GUI.
The ksar java text window prompts "kerberos username [{windows.userid}]" and does not perform the ssh login as per the credentials in the connection dialog.

Issue present in 5.2.3

[Pitterling]

never looked into the ssh area of ksar and to be honest i have no clue at all with this ..

did you try one the latest 5.2.4-snapshot release as 5.2.3 is super old .. ?

[gdoesu2]

I have only used the stable release.

I will try the latest snapshot to see if it makes a difference

Found this article which very much describes my scenario:

It references SFTP connection through Java asking for weird authentication
