Karl Wright commented on HTTPCLIENT-1315:
-----------------------------------------

Has there been any further developments here?

One other point.  Since the claim is that jcifs works but httpclient native does not, it occurred to me that we need to know what mode jcifs is operating in.  As you may know, you control jcifs by way of a -D switch, which sets its lmcompatibility level emulation.  The httpclient code does not need this because it uses the flags sent by the server to determine what mode to use, just like browsers do.

Please verify that for your jcifs test, you are setting its lmcompatibility level to.  If you are not setting the switch at all, this too is interesting information in that it means that your jcifs data point is useless.  You will need a switch value of 5 to be able to guarantee that jcifs is in fact able to authenticate using the same mechanisms as httpclient is using in this case.

> The default AuthScheme cannot authenticate local users if the host is included in a domain. Authetication with domain users or local users if the host is in a workgroup works fine.
> If using ntlm or digest authentication: 
>  - Authentication with a domain user works fine 
>  - Authentication with a local user if the host is in a workgroup works fine 
>  - Authentication with a local user (e.g. Administrator) if the host is in a domain returns 401 - Unauthorized. (Note: this works with JCIFS implementation)
> To reproduce: 
> //using local user returns "401 - Unauthorized" if the host is part of a domain 
> NTCredentials creds = new NTCredentials("Administrator", "password", "myworkstation", "HOSTNAME"); 
> //domain user works fine: 
> //NTCredentials creds = new NTCredentials("USERNAME", "password", "myworkstation", "DOMAIN"); 
> DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); 
> httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, creds); 
> HttpHost target = new HttpHost("xx.xx.xx.xx", 81, "http"); 
> HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext(); 
> HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("/Orchestrator2012/Orchestrator.svc/Jobs"); 
> List<String> authpref = new ArrayList<String>(); 
> authpref.add(AuthPolicy.NTLM); 
> httpclient.getParams().setParameter(AuthPNames.TARGET_AUTH_PREF, authpref); 
> HttpResponse response1 = httpclient.execute(target, httpget, localContext); 
> HttpEntity entity1 = response1.getEntity(); 
> The code works if I use jcifs-1.3.17 to create an NTLMEngine like in the example: http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/ntlm.html
