No, I don't think you can force JCIFS to initiate the use of plain
text passwords.

But you don't need to. If the server does not use encrypted passwords,
it will indicate so and provided that
jcifs.smb.client.disablePlainTextPasswords=false JCIFS should work
with servers that support both encrypted and plain text passwords.

Perhaps plaintext passwords are broken? I seem to recall that feature
was broken at some point (although the code looks intact at the
moment) and I have not tested it in many years.

I still don't understand what the problem is ...
