Hi Eric

Thank you so much for your prompt response..

I've read through the documentation on jCIFS NTLM HTTP Authentication and
the Network Explorer Servlet that ask to implement the filter you just
mentioned.
I've added the following into the web.xml as instructed
<filter>
        <filter-name>NTLM HTTP Authentication Filter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>jcifs.http.NtlmHttpFilter</filter-class>

<!-- For development, any SMB server is suitable for validating
     password hashes.
-->
        <init-param>
            <param-name>jcifs.http.domainController</param-name>
            <!-- <param-value>192.168.1.16</param-value> This was changed to
my own machine IP address-->
            <param-value>192.168.1.160</param-value>

        </init-param>


    </filter>


but however, after many attempts, still fail to get a value from
request.getRemoteUser().
>From the installation guide,

"If the NTLM HTTP Authentication Filter is not enabled something like the
following will be displayed: null successfully logged in "

how was it supposed to be enabled?
how can i resolve this? any suggestions is welcome :-)

thanks in advance
