Hello,

There is no existing JIRA for Kerberos+Grizzly, so you can go ahead and
create a new one.

In order to contribute your code, you will first need to sign the Oracle
Contribute Agreement (OCA) [1].
Once it's has been approved, we can move forward on the contribution.

Thanks,

P.S. Thank you for considering contributing this!
