Update Webex Device Connector to support modern auth

Currently Webex Device Connector still uses NTLM for auth. The application should be updated to work with Kerberos in environments that support to improve security posture.

NTLM is an insecure authentication method, and is being actively phased out of environments, and discouraged by Microsoft. There are Java client libraries that provide this, and the fact that the app already runs in the context of the user means they should be straightforward to use.
