[jcifs] Domain Controller and PreAuth

[Brown, Melonie]

Since WINS is not available, the parameters were modified to use a lmhost file like so:
    <init-param>   
                  <param-name>jcifs.netbios.lmhosts</param-name>
                  <param-value>hostfile</param-value>
      </init-param>
      <init-param>
                  <param-name>jcifs.smb.client.domain</param-name>
                  <param-value>MYDOMAINNAME</param-value>
      </init-param>
      <init-param>
                  <param-name>jcifs.smb.client.username</param-name>
                  <param-value>AUSER</param-value>
      </init-param>
      <init-param>
                  <param-name>jcifs.smb.client.password</param-name>
                  <param-value>APASSWORD</param-value>
      </init-param>                
  <init-param>
     <param-name>jcifs.util.loglevel</param-name>
     <param-value>2</param-value>
  </init-param>
 
The hostfile looks like this:
 
xxx.xx.xxx.xxx DNS_MACHINE1
xxx.xx.xxx.xxx DNS_MACHINE2
xxx.xx.xxx.xxx DNS_MACHINE3
xxx.xx.xxx.xxx DNS_MACHINE4
 
Now authentication fails with:

java.net.UnknownHostException: Failed to negotiate with a suitable domain controller for MYDOMAINNAME
        jcifs.smb.SmbSession.getChallengeForDomain(SmbSession.java:134)
        jcifs.http.NtlmHttpFilter.negotiate(NtlmHttpFilter.java:150)
        jcifs.http.NtlmHttpFilter.doFilter(NtlmHttpFilter.java:114)
 
The IP addresses and machine names are all ping-able from the webserver running Tomcat.
What other troubleshooting steps can you recommend?
