Hello Heidi.
Thank you for the complete information provided in your post below.
I do not have any experience with the Tomcat SPNEGO Valve per se, but quite a bit of
experience with Windows Integrated Authentication.
To me, the symptoms that you describe below, do not really look like a problem at the
Tomcat level, but more like a problem between the browser and the Windows authentication
in general.
See notes and questions in the text below.

We have the following problem with connecting from the tomcat environment 9.024
with the
Active Directory of Windows, Kerberos database. (win2008 DC's)
In Tomcat's log files, with Tomcat8, which gives no problems, it is connected
to the
Active directory.
It indicates that a login attempt is made 3 times whether the person can log in
with the
Active directory account.
After that the login is accepted and qualified as successful.
In tomcat 9, different versions tried, also version 9.024, the control of 1
attempt
becomes visible,
which is successful. But then the check is stopped (not 3 times as Tomcat8) and
the
connection is marked as unsuccessful.
The environment for Tomcat9 is the same as from Tomcat8.
Q1: Are you sure that it is *exactly* the same ?
For example, do the tomcat8 installation, and the tomcat9 installation, run on the same
server, and is the server *domain* the same in both cases ?
Q2: when "it does not work", does the browser popup a login dialog ?
Reason for the questions :
Typically, a succesful Windows authentication consists of indeed 3 exchanges (what you say
happens with tomcat8).
The first of these exchanges consists of the browser requesting the original
URL.
The server then responds with a 401 response ("need authentication"), in which it
indicates that it wants an authentication, of the SPNEGO type.
The browser then normally responds with a 2d request for the same URL, containing a
partial "Authorization:" header containing some encrypted token.
If the browser does NOT send this 2d request, it indicates that *the browser refuses* to
do an SPNEGO authentication in this case.
And that happens when the browser does not think that the server "can be trusted" for
doing SPNEGO authentication.
The browser will not trust the server, if it thinks that the server is not in the same
domain as itself (unless you have manually added this server in the "trusted servers", at
the browser level).
Q2: Usually, when the browser refuses to do a WIA authentication, it tries a Basic
authentication instead, and this login dialog pops up. With Windows authentication, that
is usually the first sign that something is not correct in the browser/server setup.
Note: I'm not saying that this IS your problem. But it is the first thing to verify, with
WIA authentication.
To see this more clearly, you could try to install on the workstation, some software that
allows you to trace the HTTP exchanges between the browser and the server (example :
Fiddler2), and compare what happens with tomcat8 and tomcat9 (look at the HTTP headers for
request/response).
