Hi,
You can authenticate against an NT server using some sort of delegation
of authentication to an IIS on NT.
By accessing an URL within an IIS
authenticated realm from within your servlet, using the "Authentication"
header received within servlet's request.
If IIS answers with error you then send the same error back to the user.

We've used this sort of "delegation" within an lightweight web application
server wich is able to delegate authentication through an "PassChecker"
interface - thus it can authenticate against JDBC sources, POP servers,
other "external" Web resources (including IIS on NT) or may be implemented
to authenticate within any other id/pass based authentication.(like
/etc/passwd tables, database tables, etc...)
Its philosophy is to use already existing authentication "realms"
within intranets.

- Install Microsoft's IIS on the NT domain server
- Setup proper Basic authentication in IIS for some certain HTTP-available
file.
- Write Java code (on servlet's side) that:
- decodes the user's Authentication header (using
- tries to access
