[jcifs] NTLM/SSL

[O'ROURKE, Tom, FM IT]

Thanks for the reply


We have NTLM authentication on our proxies (global policy), web sites are
not NTLM, ie I am trying to get to a plain SSL web site. If I use http it is
ok, if I use https I get the below tunnelling error.

I have the NTLM authentication working to get through the proxies to get to
a seired internet site, my trouble is trying to get to an SSL site.

thanks

This is proxy authentication not SSL. What exact type of proxy
authentication is being used? Does the plain HTTP client work through the
proxy? Try going to a non-NTLM site through the proxy to test that. I think
you might need to provide separate credentials for the proxy and then NTLM
credentials for the NTLM site.
