[jcifs] Tomcat Install

[Nathan Zentner]

My problem was that I had a proxy server on.  I turned it off in my browser,
but it is prompting me for my username and password.  I want it to act
automatically.  This can be done right?  Maybe I have to change other
settings?

Thanks for the help.

Attached is the smallest complete NTLM app possible.  You should be able to:

1.  Copy the jcifs jar into the shared/lib directory under Tomcat
2.  Copy the attached War into the webapps directory under Tomcat
3.  Start Tomcat
4.  Point IE at "http://server/ntlmtest/index.jsp"

You should see the authenticated user name.

If this doesn't work, the most likely culprit is your IE settings.  
Under "Tools -> Internet Options", click on the Security tab.  Under "Local 
Intranet" (and possibly "Internet" as well), check at the bottom of the list

for the "User Authentication/Logon" setting.  This should be set to
"Automatic 
logon only in Intranet Zone" or "Automatic logon with current username".

If it is set to "Prompt for user name and password", you should be getting a

login prompt; if it is set to "Anonymous logon", you will get a 401 error
with 
no prompt at all (which sounds like what you are seeing).
