Ignore this error. The configuration below seems to work fine for NTLM authentication.
I found out that the call was succeeding, but that I was passing a value that the server didn't like, and the Microsoft GP Web Services server is not very graceful about notifying the client of 'what went wrong'. I changed the value and no more exception. I still have some issues, but at this point they don't look related to CXF. Thank you very much Daniel. Not even Microsoft support (the authors of the service) could figure out how to do this, but you did. bruno -----Original Message----- From: Bruno Melloni Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 8:52 AM To: 'Daniel Kulp'; users@cxf.apache.org Cc: Nate Woody Subject: RE: Service authentication credentials I think I did what you said and I made some progress, it loads the bean fine, but now cxf blows up with little information about why.
