Ignition has no support for this kind of authentication in its HTTP client.

You might be able to get something working using the [apache httpclient library([Apache HttpComponents – HttpClient Overview](https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.5.x/index.html)), which is available on the class path in Ignition.

[In this post](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ignition-script-nt-credential-auth-http-post-500-error-invalid-request-format-application-xml/103355) the OP manages to get it working using an `NTCredentials` object, perhaps that could be a starting place for Kerberos, which it seems apache httpclient does support: [KerberosCredentials (Apache HttpClient 4.5.14 API)](https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.5.x/current/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/http/auth/KerberosCredentials.html)
