[jcifs] not able to use jcifs.properties file

[vibhuti]

Hello Mike

Thanks for your prompt reply.
 
I have specified -Djcifs.properties=/path_to_file/jcifs.prop system property
in Catalina.bat file. I have set the log level to 4 in properties file. So
on tomcat console the JCIFS properties list is displayed. Looking at it, it
seems that NtlmHttpFilter is able to read the properties file. But it throws
the following exception when trying to login for a valid user name and
password:

jcifs.smb.SmbAuthException: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad
password.

 If I do not use properties file and instead specify domain controller and
other values explicitly in web.xml, it allows login for the same user.

It seems that there is something different happening when trying to
authenticate using the properties file.

Thanks
Vibhuti

Hi vibhuti,

If you use the -Djcifs.properties=/path/to/file.prp system property,
that will definitely work. I think perhaps you just got the path wrong
or you're not modifying the commandline in the way you think.
