NTLM Authentication
On Java 6, NTLM authentication is built into the Java runtime and you don't need to do anything special.
Next, you need to configure jcifs to use the correct domains, wins servers, etc... Notice that the bit which sets the username/password to use for NTLM is commented out. If credentials are missing jcifs will use the underlying NT credentials.
//Set the jcifs properties
jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.domain", "ben.com");
jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.netbios.wins", "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx");
jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.soTimeout",
"300000"); //5 minutes
jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.netbios.cachePolicy",
"1200"); //20 minutes
//jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.username", "myNTLogin");
//jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.password", "secret");
//Register the jcifs URL handler to enable NTLM
jcifs.Config.registerSmbURLHandler();Finally, you need to setup the CXF client to turn off chunking. The reason is that the NTLM authentication requires a 3 part handshake which breaks the streaming.
//Turn off chunking so that NTLM can occur
Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(port);
HTTPConduit http = (HTTPConduit) client.getConduit();
HTTPClientPolicy httpClientPolicy = new HTTPClientPolicy();
httpClientPolicy.setConnectionTimeout(36000);
httpClientPolicy.setAllowChunking(false);
http.setClient(httpClientPolicy);Please also see Asynchronous Client HTTP Transport for more information on NTLM.
