[jcifs] Changing domain controller causes "UnknownHostException: Faoled to negotiate with suitable domain controller"

[venn hardy]

Has anyone experienced anything this problem before? I have tried alot of the approaches suggested on this mailing list (eg setting local network addresses, changing jcifs.resolveOrder and domainController properties) but none have worked.

I would appreciate any advice or troubleshooting tips that you may have.

Thanks,

Venn

I forgot to mention before that I am using jcifs-1.1.11. But the same problem happens when I upgrade to jcifs-1.3.11

 

Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this UnknownHostException: Failed to negotiate with suitable domain controller error?

Hello I have been using jcifs-1.1.11 in conjunction with a windows 2003 domain controller for some time now. Recently I have been doing some testing against a Windows 2008 domain controller and I have been having some problems with a line in my application: SmbSession.getChallengeForDomain();

That line causes this error:
java.net.UnknownHostException: Failed to negotiate with a suitable domain controller for TESTDOMAIN
        at jcifs.smb.SmbSession.getChallengeForDomain(SmbSession.java:132)
        at mypackage.cas.web.flow.ntlm.ProcessType1NtlmMessageAction.doExecute(ProcessType1NtlmMessageAction.java:74)
        at org.springframework.webflow.action.AbstractAction.execute(AbstractAction.java:204)
        at org.springframework.webflow.AnnotatedAction.execute(AnnotatedAction.java:139)
        at org.springframework.webflow.ActionExecutor.execute(ActionExecutor.java:58)
        Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace
 
Does anyone have any ideas on what might have changed on the windows server 2008 domain controller to make this error occur? And the steps I can take to make it work again?
 
Thanks
 
My jcifs.properties file looks like this (it connects to the new domain controller where I have been doing my testing):
jcifs.smb.client.soTimeout=300000
jcifs.smb.client.domain=TESTDOMAIN
jcifs.netbios.cachePolicy=1200
jcifs.netbios.wins=newdomaincontroller1
jcifs.http.loadBalance=true
jcifs.util.loglevel=3
jcifs.resolveOrder=DNS,LMHOSTS,WINS,BCAST
 
I did an ethereal packet sniff against the existing domain controller and this is what I get (it works):

With DOMAIN domain and pointing to existingdomaincontroller
Source Destination Protocol Info
MyPC existingdomaincontroller NBSS Session request, to *SMBSERVER<20> from JCIFS102_122_AA<00>
existingdomaincontroller MyPC NBSS Positive session response
MyPC existingdomaincontroller SMB Negotiate Protocol Request

existingdomaincontroller MyPC SMB Session Setup AndX Response; Tree Connect AndX
 
However when I point to the new test domain controller, I get "Negative session response, Called name not present".
