[jcifs] jCIFS Jboss Tomcat IIS NTLM Authentication

[Scott Shaver]

I thought I tried that but I'll give it another go. Won't this mean that
the user's realm groups (security groups from active directory) won't be
loaded then? If tomcat doesn't do the authentication via the filter I
would assume that would be the case. That won't work for me if it is
true.

The application I have is an employee portal. I want the user to not
have to log in to be authenticated. I have this working perfectly in
WebLogic but I'm exploring a possible move to JBoss. I use the user's
groups to avoid displaying certain sections of the portal.

Thanks, Scott.

then you don't really need jCIFS; IIS can do this for you.  See here for
more details:
