[jcifs] Why would auth work on one server and not on another?

[dave mobley]

I have a basic question, and let me just comment really quickly that I am 
not using a standard build of jcifs at this point.  (If you want to stop 
reading here, that is fine, if this intrigues you though, read on!)

I have created a jdk 1.1 compliant version based on a hybrid of 0.6.8 and 
0.7.8 (I needed the networking from 0.6.8 to be 1.1 and the NtlmServlet from 
0.7.8 - so actually, this is an 0.6.8 build with the 0.7.8 ntlmssp package 
and the http package bolted on and 'adjusted for').

I create an NtlmServlet and put it on tomcat (I'm using 4.1.12) and it works 
fine...does the whole handshake and what not....the servlet displays the 
user name if you authenticate correctly (or pops a prompt if you dont)

I move the same servlet, lock, stock, and barrel, over to a Domino server 
(and by the way, I converted NtlmServlet to be JSDK 2.0 friendly - thats the 
only kind of servlets domino understands).  I launch it here and here is 
what happens (as far as my 'println' statements can tell me):

1: IE -> request a page from server
2: Server -> tells IE it needs to Auth using NTLM
3: IE -> says ok and sends back a blob
4: Server -> gets glob, does some fancy footwork, tries to send back blob, 
but stupid IE has hung up

If I try the sametime with Moz 1.4 it goes through the whole process, but 
throws an Encoding Exception at the very end (yet works on tomcat)

Any ideas,
any places I should look,
just anything at this point...

Also, if anyone wants a copy of this crazy, slapped together build (I know 
it is completely un-official and all), just let me know and I'll forward it 
to you.

thanks,

Dave Mobley
