I think there are properties that can restrict pages to one particular
server. So you set the login page to only go to one server. I have no
experience with this so I can't be more specific but clearly this issue is
not specific to JCIFS. See if you can find documentation about Wedgetail,
Vintela, or other products that that to see how they deal with the issue.
