[jcifs] SMB SSO on Windows desktop application

[Michael B Allen]

Hi Javier,

No. JCIFS does not have access to the Windows credential cache. That
would require some platform specific code and I somewhat doubt that it
could be done entirely using Java anyway. When Kerberos is
implemented, this might change since I believe Java does have access
to the the Kerberos credential cache and it would not require platform
specific code.
