In the majority of cases it really is extremely simple to set this up,
just download http://jcifs.samba.org/src/jcifs-1.1.8.jar put it in
your Web Application's lib folder (or the common one if you plan to
use it across multiple web apps), then follow the instructions at
http://jcifs.samba.org/src/docs/ntlmhttpauth.html to add the Filter
details to your web.xml and then restart your web application server.

And if you download the .zip
http://jcifs.samba.org/src/jcifs-1.1.8.zip there should be an example
servlet in there you can use to demonstrate it working, this is also
detailed in the above link.
