Hi,
I have tried several http connections using httpclient to a Windows Server 2008
R2 standard host running IIS 7.5. I have trouble authenticating local users if
the host is included in a domain. Domain users or local users if the host is in
a workgroup work fine.
So I am using ntlm or digest authentication and:
- Authentication with a domain user works fine
- Authentication with a local user if the host is in a workgroup works fine
- Authentication with a local user (e.g. Administrator) if the host is in a
domain returns 401 - Unauthorized
My code:
//using local user returns "401 - Unauthorized" if the host is part of a domain
NTCredentials creds = new NTCredentials("Administrator", "password",
"myworkstation", "HOSTNAME");
//domain user works fine:
//NTCredentials creds = new NTCredentials("USERNAME", "password",
"myworkstation", "DOMAIN");
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, creds);
HttpHost target = new HttpHost("xx.xx.xx.xx", 81, "http");
HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("/Orchestrator2012/Orchestrator.svc/Jobs");
List<String> authpref = new ArrayList<String>();
authpref.add(AuthPolicy.NTLM);
httpclient.getParams().setParameter(AuthPNames.TARGET_AUTH_PREF, authpref);
HttpResponse response1 = httpclient.execute(target, httpget, localContext);
HttpEntity entity1 = response1.getEntity();
Any feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanks
Mihai
