[jcifs] Intermittent issues. Getting the error jcifs.smb.SmbAuthException: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

[Chakravarthy, Haragopal]

We have been using jcifs in production for a few months now.

We run the code on two JVMs, with it being active on any one node at a time. This morning, we started seeing the following error on the active node:

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

This is not occurring on the other node, though. The codebase and properties (used in the Config class) are the same on both the nodes.

For now, we have the code running on the node where there is no error.

What could be causing this issue?

Assuming the issue is due to corrupted credentials (in the properties file) is there a way for me to refresh the "Config" without restarting the JVM?

We are on version 1.3.16.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Hara
