There's no way that I know of to do this, however the builtin handling for the JRE seems to manage it so there's probably a com.sun class around somewhere that makes it possible. It would definitely be possibly using JNI. It's on my todo list to investigate how this is done but it's a fairly low priority (not a single user has complained yet - presumably because few of our users use NTLM). If you do find out how to do it please do let us know.

Hi All,
Thanks again Adrian, very helpful.
The NTCredentials API shows that the user, password, host, and domain can be set. Is it possible to use the logged-in users credentials? This way it would allow a user to be authenticated without reentering user/pw.
Thanks for the help, Steve

This sounds very much like the webserver isn't really using NTLM but is using Digest/Basic instead. If it really were using NTLM passing in DOMAIN\User would definitely not work because HttpClient doesn't check for that case. That would also explain why the realm isn't what you expect. I'd say a wire log should shed a lot of light on the situation (see http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/logging.html )

Hi All,
Using HTTPClient version 2.0
We are using HTTPClient to login to a MS Exchange web page account. We can only get it to work by passing in the realm as null, and putting the domain back on to the front of the user to pass into NTCredentials().
new NTCredentials(authUserNameAppendDomainWithBackSlash + settings.getAuthUserName(), settings.getAuthPassword(), settings.getHost(), settings.getAuthDomain())
The comments on the interface say that only the username should be passed in, and NOT the domain. For other NTLM pages it works to use only the user, but this page has not worked for us without the domain like this myDomain\myUser.
On State.setCredentials() we have tried passing the host, null, and the string "realm" in without the domain appended to user. All these attempts fail. We would prefer to use the API without the domain on the user.
client.getState().setCredentials( null, //"realm", null, settings.getHost()- settings.getHost(), new NTCredentials(authUserNameAppendDomain + settings.getAuthUserName(), settings.getAuthPassword(), settings.getHost(), settings.getAuthDomain()) );
Is there some documentation on how the realm interacts with authentication?
Thanks for your time and effort, Steve
