[jcifs] "Enable Integrated Windows Authentication" doesn't seem to matter?

Jason,

Thanks!  It does seem a little silly--I can see specifically disabling 
NTLM or disabling both but not disabling Kerberos alone since this is the 
more secure method for authentication.

Thanks again!

I think all it does is enable/disable Kerberos authentication so the
name of the option is pretty silly but then again this is Microsoft...
