Reload Kerberos config in JAVA without restarting JVM

The following code is for authenticating to a windows AD server using Java+Kerberos and it works fine- ``` public class KerberosAuthenticator { public static void main(String[] args) { String jaasConfigFilePath = "/myDir/jaas.conf"; System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config", jaasConfigFilePath); String krb5ConfigFilePath = "/etc/krb5/krb5.conf"; System.setProperty("java.security.krb5.conf", krb5ConfigFilePath); boolean success = auth.KerberosAuthenticator.authenticate("testprincipal", "testpass"); System.out.println(success); } } ``` The above is a just a test program. The actual code will run in a tomcat webapp. The problem I am facing is, if the krb5.conf file changes, the same is not reflected in the tomcat, if a successful authentication has already happened once with the earlier version of krb5.conf. The new changes reflect only on restart of tomcat. I want to know if there is a way to specify the JVM to reload the krb5.conf so that it gets the latest changes without restarting the JVM.
