[jcifs] Receiving Error - jcifs.smb.SmbAuthException

[Jerry Jalenak]

I'm stumped on this one, so I'm hoping one of the developers might be able
to help me out....

I've written a desktop application that uses jCIFS to connect to a VMS
system to retreive a file.  The connection code looks like this :

	private static final String smbUser = "???;????????";		//
hidden for the obvious reasons...
	private static final String smbPassword = "????????";		//
... ditto ...

	SmbFile smbFile = new SmbFile("smb://" + smbUser + ":" + smbPassword
+ "@xmit/lowes_ar/test.data");
	BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
		new InputStreamReader(
			new SmbFileInputStream(smbFile)));

The smbUser and smbPassword reflect a valid windows domain user id /
password.  When I try to run this application from my W2K desktop (actually
within Eclipse), I throw a

	jcifs.smb.SmbAuthException: The specified network password is not
correct.
	jcifs.smb.SmbAuthException: The specified network password is not
correct.
	at jcifs.smb.SmbTransport.send(SmbTransport.java:654)
	at jcifs.smb.SmbSession.sessionSetup(SmbSession.java:178)
	at jcifs.smb.SmbSession.send(SmbSession.java:138)

	at jcifs.smb.SmbFileInputStream.<init>(SmbFileInputStream.java:63)
	at Handler.run(Handler.java:105)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534)

However, if I change the smbUser and smbPassword to my Windows user Id /
password, everything works OK, and I can retreive the file without any
problems.  I've had our Windows SysAdmins verify that there is nothing
different between my user Id / password and the applications user Id /
password.  I suspect that it has something to do with NT authorization since
I can't even do a 'net use' command from a DOS prompt (using the application
user Id / password) and access the VMS share.  

I'm currently using jcifs-0.9-0p7.

Any help or pointers that would help me resolve this would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!
