Hussein, I'm using XXE to edit documents stored on a remote server that is protected with NTLM authentication. The authentication itself works just fine, but the credentials are not being properly cached between editing sessions. I have tracked this down to a slight problem in the AuthenticatorModuleImpl class.
When a java.net.Authenticator is challanged for credentials in NTLM scheme, a call to java.net.Authenticator's getRequestingPrompt() will return an empty string (not a null as I would expect). When this is flushed out to the preferences.properties and read back in, the prompt is read back in as a null value. This causes the AuthenticatorModuleImpl.Entry method boolean equals to fail on otherwise equal entries which means that the AuthenticatorModuleImpl doesn't recognize your saved credentials. In order to fix this issue, you can modify the AuthenticatorModuleImpl.Entry.parse method from: if (line.length() > 7) entry.prompt = line.substring(7); to: if (line.length() > 7) entry.prompt = line.substring(7); else entry.prompt = ""; Please let me know if I'm not being clear enough. Any word on a release date for XXE > 3.7.0? Cheers, Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
