[jcifs] Windows login username required at server end

[Yannick Lavanant]

Hi Abhi,

I'm not a specialist, but as far as I understand, JCIFS performs a 
domain authentication.

I remember using some native code that did what you are describing.
The advantage of JCIFS is that you are platform independant. As soon as 
you introduce native code, you get stuck with the operating system.

Is there any reason why you don't want to do a domain authentication?
