[jcifs] strange behavior

[Aaron J Weber]

Thanks for all those tips.  I tested Logon.class against the .115 DC, and it succeeded every time!  How could that be?  Is that code significantly different?  Is it possible that 115 has its IPC$ service closed somehow, someway?

Also, I noticed with my app that there are a LOT of authentication requests...for example when my main page comes-up (which uses frames), there are at least 4 auth requests for the user...and as the user progresses thru the app, it continues.  That's gonna irk the networking guys a bit.  I looked thru the different config settings, but didn't find anything to "cache" the users credentials and/or allow the user to remain "auto-authenticated" for a period of time.

For example, I'd like to set a param that, once a user is successfully authenticated, additional auth requests are NOT re-authenticated until a timeout of 15 minutes?

Thanks,
AJ

  Yeah, that would be pretty weird but I suppose it's possible. Try using jcifs.http.domainController for a while. Also I can see you're not specifying jcifs.smb.client.username/password for preauth. I thought you were doing that? Just put init-params for domainController=<ip of successful dc>, wins, and then domain/username/password for preauth. That's a sort of "safe-mode" setup. There's no load balancing or anything like that so we narrow the number of possibilities a little.

  These "byteCount" messages are normal.

  > Default credentials (jcifs.smb.client.username/password) not specified. SMB signing may not work propertly.  Skipping DC interrogation.

  The above means you're not getting setting domain/username/password for preauth.

  Try running the LoginTest example (or something like that) to test these credentials manually against this specific DC to see if it really doesn't own those credentials.

  I think this is normal. Again this is just the transport timing out after being idle for 10 minutes.
