Java – CXF SOAP Client with NTLM to SharePoint

cxfjavantlmsharepointsoap

I am writing a SOAP client using CXF Framework (version: 2.7.8) for SharePoint 2007. I have followed the online documentation for adding NTLM support here. I have the client working and tracing the HTTP session shows that NTLM credentials are being sent, however, I am still receiving a 401 Unauthorized response.

Code:

Lists listService = new Lists();
ListsSoap port = listService.getListsSoap();

BindingProvider bp = (BindingProvider) port;
bp.getRequestContext().put("use.async.http.conduit", Boolean.TRUE);
Credentials creds = new NTCredentials(USER, PASS, "", DOMAIN);
bp.getRequestContext().put(Credentials.class.getName(), creds);

Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(proxy);
HTTPConduit http = (HTTPConduit) client.getConduit();
HTTPClientPolicy httpClientPolicy = new HTTPClientPolicy();
httpClientPolicy.setConnectionTimeout(36000);
httpClientPolicy.setAllowChunking(false);
httpClientPolicy.setAutoRedirect(true);
http.setClient(httpClientPolicy);

// Build request and execute

Interestingly, I wrote a similar client using HTTP PUT for WebDAV to upload documents using Apache HTTPClient library, and was able to successfully authenticate using NTLM. Also, I was able to use SOAPUI to invoke the same Lists web service I am trying to build the Java client for and it successfully authenticated using NTLM as well.

I'm assuming the implementation of NTLM is different between CXF and HTTPClient. Any thoughts on what is wrong with my CXF implementation? Or how I can get it to mirror the HTTPClient implementation?

Please try this way!

HTTPConduit http = (HTTPConduit)client.getConduit();
AsyncHTTPConduit conduit = (AsyncHTTPConduit)http;
DefaultHttpAsyncClient defaultHttpAsyncClient;
defaultHttpAsyncClient = conduit.getHttpAsyncClient();
defaultHttpAsyncClient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials( AuthScope.ANY,
 new NTCredentials( USER,PWD, "", DOM ) );
conduit.getClient().setAllowChunking( false );
conduit.getClient().setAutoRedirect( true );
