[jcifs] Tomcat NTLM

[Scott, James (JA)]

wow .. actually, i was not aware of that .. I had been using the 0.7.0b and
that other method was working just fine .. 

OK .. so I have upgraded my code to use the NtlmHttpFilter in 0.7.0b3 ..
However, I would still like to know .. is there any way to be able to get
the NTLM authenticated user name into the request.getRemoteUser() ??  I know
that this is a question that is not 100% geared at this list .. but, I guess
the goal is to not only have the NTLM Authentication accomplished but to
have the HttpServletRequest populated with as much Authentication
information as possible.

Thanks for all the help,
Jim

You're waaaaaay out of date.

That post was about Jason's original instructions. Did you know that we
have since created a Filter to do NTLM Auth? Please look at the relevant
news bullets on our homepage and read the latest NTLM document:

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.
