Hi, quick question about jcifs (version 1.1.11 - I know it's getting a bit old)
One of our users used the password “WdIdwm1n?” and couldn’t login. His
password has now changed and NTLM works fine.
I suspect the question mark has something to do with it - are there
any known problems with specific characters in passwords?
Here's how we do the authentication:
NtlmPasswordAuthentication mycreds = new
NtlmPasswordAuthentication(domain, credentials.getLogin(),
credentials.getPassword());
try {
SmbSession.logon( mydomaincontroller, mycreds );
// SUCCESS
return true;
} catch( SmbAuthException sae ) {
// AUTHENTICATION FAILURE
return false;
} catch( SmbException se ) {
// NETWORK PROBLEMS?
throw new AuthenticationException("Error authenticating
using NTLM.", se);
}
Regards,
Karel
