[jcifs] Re: Anyway to force basic authentication?

[S Wagle]

JCIFS will let you do SSO.  But it seems you don't want to do SSO.

If you want to prompt the user for id/password, I would think you 
shouldn't use JCIFS at all.  Use J2EE basic/forms based authentication 
and validate user credentials against Active Directory.  All app servers 
can be configured to authenticate against LDAP directory.
