Apache Axis2 1.5.1 and NTLM Authentication
- by arcticpenguin
I've browsed all of the discussions here on StackOverflow regarding NTLM and Java, and I can't seem to find the answer. I'll try and be much more specific.
Here's some code that returns a client stub that (I hope) is configured for NTLM authentication:
ServiceStub getService() {
try {
ServiceStub stub = new ServiceStub(
"http://myserver/some/path/to/webservices.asmx"); // this service is hosted on IIS
List<String> ntlmPreferences = new ArrayList<String>(1);
ntlmPreferences.add(HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator.NTLM);
HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator ntlmAuthenticator = new HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator();
ntlmAuthenticator.setPreemptiveAuthentication(true);
ntlmAuthenticator.setAuthSchemes(ntlmPreferences);
ntlmAuthenticator.setUsername("me");
ntlmAuthenticator.setHost("localhost");
ntlmAuthenticator.setDomain("mydomain");
Options options = stub._getServiceClient().getOptions();
options.setProperty(HTTPConstants.AUTHENTICATE, ntlmAuthenticator);
options.setProperty(HTTPConstants.REUSE_HTTP_CLIENT, "true");
stub._getServiceClient().setOptions(options);
return stub;
} catch (AxisFault e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
This returns a valid SerivceStub object. When I try to invoke a call on the stub, I see the following in my log:
Jun 9, 2010 12:12:22 PM org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthChallengeProcessor selectAuthScheme
INFO: NTLM authentication scheme selected
Jun 9, 2010 12:12:22 PM org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector authenticate
SEVERE: Credentials cannot be used for NTLM authentication: org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials
Does anyone have a solution to this issue?
