<DIV>I have successfully gotten the 3-step NTLM challenge/response working using
nothing but the JCIFS NtlmHttpFilter deployed to WebSphere 6.1 if I use Firefox
as the browser. Similarly, the same filter & servlet work when deployed on
Tomcat 6.x from either Firefox or IE. But when I try IE6 against WebSphere 6.1,
IE sends request #1 and request #2 but WebSphere appears to close the connection
<B>after</B> the response to request #2 is sent. I can step through it in a
debugger and see that request #1 and #2 are both sent and processed without any
kind of error, but after request #2 leaves the filter, the next thing you know,
IE is saying "This page can not be displayed".<BR><BR>Everything I've been able
to "sniff" shows that the app server is closing the connect after the 2nd
request.<BR><BR>Has anyone been able to get NTLM working with IE6/WebSphere 6.1
using nothing but the JCIFS HtlmHttpFilter?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Solution:</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Just to give an update - I upgraded to the latest
fix pack of WAS 6.1 (6.1.0.27) and everything is now working.<BR><BR>So for
anyone trying to do NTLM-based SSO using nothing but the JCIFS filter, you're
going to want to get the latest fix pack of WAS before you try it.</FONT></DIV>
