JCIFS NTLM - giving backup domain controller in web.xml

Question

Hi All,
We are using JCIFS NTLM authentication, for which we've configured the filter in web.xml like this
... other code ...
<filter>
    <filter-name>NtlmHttpFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>jcifs.http.NtlmHttpFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>jcifs.http.domainController</param-name>
        <param-value>SERVER1</param-value>
    </init-param>
    ..... other code .....the above code specifies a single domain controller SERVER1 for the NTLM authentication. Suppose, I want to give one more server also (i.e. when the SERVER1 down, NTLM should check my backup server SERVER2), how do I give it in the above code? Is it like <param-value>SERVER1, SERVER 2</param-value> ?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I am facing the same exact problem.
<filter>
          <filter-name>NtlmHttpFilter</filter-name>
          <filter-class>jcifs.http.NtlmHttpFilter</filter-class>
          <init-param>
               <param-name>jcifs.http.domainController</param-name>
               <param-value>corg0dc02</param-value>
          </init-param>
</filter>
    <filter-mapping>
         <filter-name>NtlmHttpFilter</filter-name>
         <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
   Is it possible to use EL or equivalent instead of hard-coding the param-value? Is this allowed in the Servlet spec?
I would like to read the param-value from a properties file or DB table if possible.
