[jcifs] RE: NTLM - SMB Interaction

[Allen, Michael B (RSCH)]

I'm not entirely sure what your asking but you can make an
NtlmPasswordAuthentication object from the password hashes sent by IE
which can be used with NtlmAuthenticator but setDefault() affects all users
so I think additional support will be needed. I'll have to think about this further.
