Negotiate uses the OS LDAP tokens on the web.

Windows has that stupid rule where LDAP runs all over the OS or nowhere at all, and Linux has that idea that LDAP is some add-on you assemble by connecting a jigsaw of pieces. Nothing makes it reasonable to publish a domain on the web, where people can authenticate on many of them, and send the tokens where needed.

(Well, actually Firefox does most of it, and you can use it and assemble the Linux pieces so it works. It just doesn't work in practice.)
