You're right it's an appliance. I just found out that it's a F5 ARX
file virtualization server. And... NTLM has not been enabled on it by
choice.

So, from what I understand, there maybe a shift towards Kerberos where
I work, so I'll need to start preparing.

I'm assuming I could try jcifs-krb5 once I figure out the KDC and
Realms settings? I looked through KerberosAuthExample. Am I on the
right path?

Thanks again,
