[jcifs] NtlmPasswordAuthentication class not serializable

[Greg Taylor]

Hello,

We're using jCIFS for NTLM authentication in a clustered Weblogic setup.  We
would like to enable in-memory session replication, but that causes an
exception to be thrown when NtlmHttpFilter attempts to put an
NtlmPasswordAuthentication instance into the session (NtlmHttpAuth).  I
believe the class should implement Serializable to avoid this problem for
clustered apps with failover enabled.  Not sure of the possibilities for
marking any of the attributes transient.  Any possibility of this being
included in a release in the near future?

Thanks,
Greg Taylor.
