Hi Volker,

For NTLMv1 you can call NtlmPasswordAuthentication.getNTLMResponse()
with an 8 byte challenge provided by the server with which you are
authenticating.

For NTLMv2 it is more complicated as the "challenge" also includes a
"target information" block.

I have a feeling this is probably not something you want to do. If you
just want to add NTLM client tauthentication to some software, try
using jcifs.smb.NtlmContext.initSecContext().

If you're trying to implement server-side authentication (meaning you
want to authenticate clients like in an HTTP server), JCIFS does not
implement that.
