NTML support in Axis2

[Jeff Ling]

Hello,

I posted the message the message to user's mailing list, but haven't got any response yet. It's kind of urgent for me, so sorry for the spam.


I downloaded the nightly build with the basic auth patch. Now that's working. However, I am wondering whether NTLM is supported by Axis2? I know HttpClient does support it. However, I can't figure out how to tell Axis to use NTLM.

Here is what I did in the code,

      BasicAuthentication basicAuthentication = new HttpTransportProperties()
        .new BasicAuthentication();
      basicAuthentication.setUsername(context.getUserName ());
      basicAuthentication.setPassword(context.getPassword());
      basicAuthentication.setRealm(context.getRealm());
     
      options
      .setProperty(HTTPConstants.BASIC_AUTHENTICATION, basicAuthentication);
     

And I got the error.
 INFO [main] (AuthChallengeProcessor.java:100) - ntlm authentication scheme selected
ERROR [main] (HttpMethodDirector.java:235) - Credentials cannot be used for NTLM authentication: org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials
org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.InvalidCredentialsException: Credentials cannot be used for NTLM authentication: org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials
    at org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.NTLMScheme.authenticate(NTLMScheme.java:331)
    at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.authenticateHost(HttpMethodDirector.java:281)

Seems that NTLM auth scheme is selected, but credential is incorrect.
