The HttpComponents/HttpClient implementation of NTLM contains modern and tested support for this functionality. I have no idea what the Axis implementation is based on, but probably it is extremely old and out of date.

The web service I am trying to connect uses NTLM v2 authentication ( using org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator - Authenticator.NTLM). The client code I am using always returns me back "401 - Unauthorized" response. I have browsed through different site, but did not get any help. Can anybody suggest me how can this issue be fixed? Thanks & Regards Ajaya Kumar Senapati
