Host provided by authenticator is treated incorrectly
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: AXIS-2856
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2856
Project: Axis
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Basic Architecture
Affects Versions: 1.5
Environment: any OS
Reporter: Kirill Safonov
As of 1.5.1 AbstractHTTPSender.setAuthenticationInfo() obtains host from
authenticator. Then this value is used to:
1) Create NTCredentials instance. Here 'host' is expected to describe source
party (Javadoc: "The host the authentication request is originating from...")
2) Create AuthScope instance. Here 'host' is stored and AuthScope instance is
later matched with another instance provided by
HttpMethodDirector.authenticateHost(), which uses host from connection which
points to target machine.
So, client has to pass server host to NTCredentials constructor, otherwise
authentication will not be performed as expected. This contradicts to Javadoc
and also may cause problems with NTLM authentication where client host name
(and not server name) is part of the handshake message.
