CFMX: Implementing JCIFS filters for NTLM Authentication

Related Categories: Security ColdFusion,

Several months ago I had a customer trying to implement JCIFS (Java Common Internet File System) servlet filters for NTLM authentication in CFMX. JCIFS allows Java application servers (e.g. JRun) to authenticate browsers against Windows domain controlers using NTLM HTTP authentication. Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) clients authenticate transparently; non-IE clients that support NTLM authentication (e.g. Mozilla) will prompt for user authentication. Visit the JCIFS NTLM HTTP Authentication page for more information and configuration options. My technote for configuring CFMX to use JCIFS Filters was published earlier this month at http://www.macromedia.com/go/5134e564. If you are running CFMX 6.1 pay attention to the note about changing the DOCTYPE directive in the web.xml.
