[jcifs] Domain Controllers

[MSDean at beckman.com]

Thanks Mike,

How would this contrast with Jason's suggestion (below):

See this thread:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/jcifs/2004-October/004174.html

You want to do something like:

UniAddress dc = new UniAddress( NbtAddress.getByName( domain, 0x1c, null));
SmbSession.logon( dc, new NtlmPasswordAuthentication( domain, username, password
);

You really should stick with the provided NtlmHttpFilter. It handles a
variety of unusual details.

Look at how the NtlmHttpFilter does it. You want chal =
SmbSession.getChallengeForDomain(domain) then use chal.dc and at least
you'll be resilant to DC failures.
