---------------------------------------

             Summary: Flag issues in NTLM implementation prevent authentication 
on some servers
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1266
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1266
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpAuth
    Affects Versions: 4.2.2
            Reporter: Karl Wright


At the ManifoldCF project, we've recently encountered two SharePoint servers 
(Windows 2008 Server R2) which seem to be configured in a way that the 
connector cannot authenticate with them using httpcomponents NTLM.  It's worth 
noting that cURL succeeds, so the NTLM setup is apparently reasonable.  
Furthermore, the patched version of commons-httpclient also fails in exactly 
the same way, so it looks like a long-standing issue.

Working through the problem, it appears that the NTLM flags httpclient sends 
are, in some cases, inconsistent with the data we include.  I am working on a 
httpclient patch, which I hope to be able to exercise in one of the client 
situations within the next week or two.

Please see CONNECTORS-572 for details and research results.
