[jcifs] Occasionally NTLM Filter fails...Please Help.

[John Baker]

Shiv,

At the weekend I started a thread on the username/password problem - I 
couldn't get to the bottom of it, but posted some new evidence where I could 
start Tomcat and use FF, leading to successful authentication, leading to IE 
working.  If I tried accessing the protected resource with IE first, it 
failed.  I couldn't decide if this was the NtlmFilter or something deeper in 
jcifs - the NtlmFilter really doesn't do an awful lot, so I was wondering if 
this was a deeper problem.  I concluded the pre-authentication code could be 
to blame, and I thought that was not NtlmFilter specific.
