Thanks piccoli.
Yes you are right, this is the second step of authentication.
After doing this step, IE returns NTLM authentication in its header.
Im validating the credentials sent by the IE(Step 3 to Step 6).
Successfully got the username and domain name.
Then I will display a form to user in which his name and domain name is filled.
user have to fill the remaining entries and submit it.
when i try to submit a form, Its data is not received in the subsequent pages.
I have debugged a lot, not able to find any solution.
Im following the steps mentioned in http://www.innovation.ch/java/ntlm.html.
Pls help me out.

Ganesh
