network: Firewall authentication: site= protocol=http, prompt=, scheme=ntlm – How to get applets loading in Linux

By Mark Vejvoda • December 4, 2009

I do a lot of work these days in Java and recently I wanted to be able to test a web application that uses Java Applets from my Ubuntu Karmic client. When loading the first applet and viewing the Applet Console window I noticed Firefox would hang and the last line in the console was:

network: Firewall authentication: site= protocol=http, prompt=, scheme=ntlm

It seems there is a bug in the JDK version for Linux (and MAC OSX) when it comes to NTLM. If you have access to the webserver that serves the web application and it happens to be IIS, remove Integrated Windows Authentication and viola… Linux works with your applets.

IIS-1

Hello, my name is Mark Vejvoda. I am first and foremost a born again child of God. My life revolves around Jesus Christ, He is the center of my universe. With that said and established, outside of being a Christian, it is necessary to live in a world that is certainly not Christian. Is this diary / blog you see a view on life from the perspective of a Jesus Lover, and perhaps some side effects of that relationship as I interact with the rest of the world. [gallery=1]
