Obviously you would need to know what domain you're authenticating
clients against. Are you using an applet? It's not clear to me what
you're trying to do.

Also, please direct your questions to the jcifs mailing list.

A  program should be written to model the concepts of the task it
performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes  the  potential  for it to be applied to tasks that are
conceptually  similar and more importantly to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
