If you use NTLM authentication, that has to be provided by hosting server (eg. In Tomcat [1]). But I don't think this will work on Linux. What is the specific reason for you to choose NLTM Authentication for the server ? Did you consider all other options [2] ? Other option would be to use WS-Security Username token [3] which will be interoperable with any web service on any platform.
