[jcifs] jCIFS breaks posts to ASP pages

[Allistair Crossley]

Hi Eric

I'm using Tomcat 5 and just the NTLM filter. I only use jCIFS to be able to call request.getRemoteUser() and not to check passwords. If I can get this working then I would not need jcifs. 

Cheers for your help, ADC

You might try disabling Integrated Authentication for the jCIFS context, and
see if that works; the problem is that IIS will consume the NTLM message
before jCIFS gets it, and the challenge won't match up with the connection
jCIFS has negotiated.  IIS + jCIFS is fairly tricky to get working; people
have posted various issues.

What servlet container are you using?  Some allow you to employ IIS's
external authentication mechanism, in which case you don't even need jCIFS.
