[jcifs] how to enable login box prompt in IE

[Gelhar, Wallace Joseph]

Sure...just use BASIC authentication and not NTLM.  I don't think there
is a flag to disable NTLM (as it is central to the filters purpose) so
you will probably want to write your own filter and just use jCIFS for
authentication.  You can look at the code for the filter as a starting
point.

As an aside...as always you really should check for SSL for either BASIC
or NTLM if network security is a concern.

Hi All,
    I m new to using NTLM using the jcifs library. I got everything
working on a tomcat based on the instructions on the website. I just had
one question.
I have seen that IE ( MSIE)  does the authentication seemlessly as in no
need ot enter user id and password. but other browsers pop up a login
box. 
So i want to make that user experience consistent and want to have a
login pop up box everytime on any browser. This way i will be asked to
enter my LAN userid/pwd everytime even if i m using IE.  Is it possible
? How ? Can someone help me ...

Thanks
