[jcifs] returning null username only in Mozilla

[vardhaman narasagoudar]

Hello Dimitris,

        Thank you for your valuable information, Now I able to access the
application through  Mozilla too but I started facing a new problem, when I
run a application from my system through Mozilla and pass other domain name
and other user of that domain the application  takes the credentials  and
reads as a valid user.(Also if I give my domain and other user it passes the
application . However here I am checking with the database but how can I
avoid the first condition that is passing/entering different domain name and
that domain's user on my domain so that I can secure my application) .
