Thanks.  I will use it with a bit of caution then.  I appreciate their being 
around, but understand the support issues.

Hi Mark

There are several unresolved issues related to JNA / NTLM via SSPI. You can 
look them up in Jira. 

The main problem is that we have no one capable and willing to develop this 
module further. 

I am glad it has been working working well for you, but there is no way of 
knowing if it works equally well with all numerous MS products and their 
combinations.

Oleg
