I assume this is in the context of HTTP Negotiate authentication. As
the error message implies, you need to increase the web server's limit
on the size of an individual HTTP header field (if it's Apache, raise
the LimitRequestFieldSize parameter). The usual reason for this is that
the service ticket encoded in the Negotiate header contains a Windows
PAC, which can be several K in size and much larger than a standard
non-Windows ticket.
