Using CXF with NTLM authentication as well as SSL/HTTPS

[Pink, Simon (AGCS)]

I cannot seem to get jcifs NTLM working with SSL/HTTPS. I get the following 
exception:
   
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/NoSuchMethodException.html>:
 jcifs.http.NtlmHttpURLConnection.getSSLSocketFactory()

In a nutshell, CXF is trying to decorate the 
javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection.getSSLSocketFactory method - but NTLM has 
replaced the https connection with its own handler: NtlmHttpURLConnection. The 
CXF handler doesn't support SSL. Is it actually possible to use both SSL and 
NTLM using CXF (or any other JAX-WS implementation)?

I'm banging my head against a wall at the moment! Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

Code:
I am using the NTLM 
Authentication<http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/client-http-transport-including-ssl-support.html>
 example almost verbatim, and then used a conduit to allow HTTPS:

    //Set the jcifs properties
    jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.domain", "my.domain.com");
    jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.netbios.wins", "my.wins.server.com");
    jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.soTimeout", "300000"); //5 
minutes
    jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.netbios.cachePolicy", "1200"); //20 minutes
//    jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.username", "myNTLogin");
//    jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb.client.password", "secret");

    //Register the jcifs URL handler to enable NTLM
    jcifs.Config.registerSmbURLHandler();

    ClientProxyFactoryBean factory = new ClientProxyFactoryBean(new 
JaxWsClientFactoryBean());

    factory.setServiceClass( ListsSoap.class );
    factory.setAddress( "https://my.service.endpoint.url"; );
    ListsSoap client = (ListsSoap) factory.create();
    Client proxy = ClientProxy.getClient( client );

    HTTPClientPolicy httpClientPolicy = new HTTPClientPolicy();
    httpClientPolicy.setConnectionTimeout(36000);
    httpClientPolicy.setAllowChunking(false);

    HTTPConduit conduit = (HTTPConduit) proxy.getConduit();
    conduit.setClient(httpClientPolicy);
    TLSClientParameters tcp = new TLSClientParameters();
    tcp.setTrustManagers( new TrustManager[]{ new TrustAllX509TrustManager() } 
);
    conduit.setTlsClientParameters( tcp );

    GetListCollectionResult col  = client.getListCollection();
    System.out.println(col);
