[jcifs] how to bypass authentication in ntlmhttpfilter?

[Smyth, Jim]

Hi,

I have got automatic logon to a web application using NT credentials.  I allow users to logoff the webapp by setting a session attribute when a particular request header is sent, so that the NTLM filter is not executed (and thus the user can browse the site anonymously).

I would also like to implement the following:

If a user cannot automatically authenticate against the domain, do NOT show the network dialog.  (i.e. allow users to transparently fail NTLM and then browse the site anonymously).  

Has anyone done this?  Any hints appreciated!


thanks
jim
