[jcifs] NTML Authentication problems

[Enrico Drusiani]

Hello everyone

i'm trying to integrate Jcifs NTML authentication on an jboss project

i've a OpenLDAP test server, but i'm not under a domain of any kind

on starting jboss, i get

ERROR [STDERR] #JCIFS PROPERTIES
but that seems just something made for showing up properties.

and when i try to access the web application at 
http://localhost:8080/webapplication/index.jsp

ERROR [[default]] Servlet.service() for servlet default threw exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
jcifs.smb.SmbSession.getChallengeForDomain(SmbSession.java:109)
jcifs.http.NtlmHttpFilter.negotiate(NtlmHttpFilter.java:150)
jcifs.http.NtlmHttpFilter.doFilter(NtlmHttpFilter.java:114)
	org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96)

but it seems i was authenticated somehow, because the login popup didn't 
show up.

my web.xml has the following lines:

<!-- jcifs - NTML Authentication -->
    <filter>
        <filter-name>NtlmHttpFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>jcifs.http.NtlmHttpFilter</filter-class>
        
        <init-param>
            <param-name>jcifs.netbios.wins</param-name>
            <param-value><ip address></param-value>
        </init-param>

        <init-param>
            <param-name>jcifs.smb.client.domain</param-name>
            <param-value><domain name on OpenLDAP</param-value>
        </init-param>

        <init-param>
            <param-name>jcifs.smb.client.username</param-name>
            <param-value><admin username></param-value>
        </init-param>
                <init-param>
            <param-name>jcifs.smb.client.password</param-name>
            <param-value><admin password></param-value>
        </init-param>

        <init-param>
            <param-name>jcifs.util.loglevel</param-name>
            <param-value>4</param-value>            
            </init-param>
    </filter>
    
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>NtlmHttpFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>


Please, i'd like an hint on what could be the problem's root

Thanks to everyone
