Web Service authentication with NTLM

Xpert.ivy supports NTLM authentication for web services exclusively with Axis 2 which uses the good old HTTPClient library. Unfortunately this library does not support all NTLM versions.

Use something like this:

import org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HttpTransportProperties;
import org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants;

HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator auth = new HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator();
auth.setDomain( "yourDomain" );
auth.setHost( "einHost" );
authSchemes.add(HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator.NTLM);
auth.setAuthSchemes(authSchemes)
auth.setPreemptiveAuthentication(true); // send authentication info at once
axisClientOptions.setProperty(HTTPConstants.AUTHENTICATE, auth);

This code work with some Sharepoint services and NTLM. If you need to know more about authentication with NTLM and Axis please refer to internet resources.
