[jcifs] HTTP 500 Errors trying to use NTLM authentication with domain users

[Edward Costello]

I doubt this is actually a problem with JCIFS, but I'm curious whether 
anyone has seen something similar.

We've got a .NET web service we're trying to connect to from Java. This 
is set up in IIS using integrated windows authentication (NTLM 
authentication). We're using JCIFS to authenticate from the Java client 
we've prevented the Sun NTLM running by changing the os.name system 
property to something other than windows

We're seeing the following behaviour:
When trying to connect using a user that is local to the box running the 
web service, everything works fine. However, when we attempt to use a 
user from the domain we get a HTTP 500 status back from IIS. This 
happens regardless of  whether we specify the domain/username/password 
using system properties, jcifs.Config or directly in the URL (replacing 
the back slash between domain and user with %5C).

As I said, I don't believe this is a JCIFS problem since we get the same 
results using the Sun NTML authentication and even from Mozilla Firefox. 
Annoyingly internet explorer seems to work fine with both local users 
and domain users.

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Cheers
