[jcifs] Windows authentication with jCIFS

[Duseja, Sushil]

Hello,

 

I am new to jCIFS and willing to know as to how I can use windows
authentication using jCIFS.

 

I ran through the link -
http://jcifs.samba.org/src/docs/ntlmhttpauth.html and developed a small
web application (deployed on tomcat 5.x) which would fetch user details
for me from my organization's active directory. It works fine on my
machine; however when I try running the application from any other
machine, it prompts me for the credentials. I want this application to
authenticate the user (without user having to key in the credentials)
that is logged on to the machine and fetch his/her user details. Can
anyone please advise?

 

Here's my web.xml

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4"

      xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"

      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

      xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee

            </init-param>

      

      </filter>

 

      <filter-mapping>

            <filter-name>NtlmHttpFilter</filter-name>

            <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

      </filter-mapping>

 

      <welcome-file-list>

            <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>

      </welcome-file-list>

 

</web-app>

 

 

Thanking you in anticipation.
