When I login to my Exchange server via http-client for the first time, I get the following string out of the http-client to the server log. Subsequent connections does not get the below warning. All transactions are working properly.
My sysops production person has asked if this warning can be suppressed since we think we understand it, and it is not really a problem. My guess is that in the NTLMv2 negotiation, the Exchange server first requests a Kerberos ticket. If the ticket is unavailable, the server requests credentials, and this warning is issued by http-client. Do I have this right? Is there a way to suppress this warning? 2013/01/18 13:32:58:412 CST [WARN] RequestTargetAuthentication - NEGOTIATE authentication error: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: Failed to find any Kerberos tgt))
