Authentication
To enable the NTLM authentication edit the web.xml file in the WEB-INF folder and change the filter mapping section from :-

  <filter-mapping>
     <filter-name>Authentication Filter</filter-name>
     <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>

to

  <filter-mapping>
     <filter-name>NTLM Authentication Filter</filter-name>
     <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>

The default NTLM filter configuration will try to find the local domain/workgroup name and find the domain controllers or browse master.

The following parameters are available to configure the NTLM filter :-
