JAVAMAIL : AUTH NTLM failed

Question

i try to send email with java in local network,using microsoft exchange server

there is my code :

import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.util.Properties;

import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.AddressException;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;


public class Main {


        public static void main(String[] args) {

            final String username = "[email protected]";
            final String password = "password";

            Properties props = new Properties();
            props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
            props.put("mail.debug", "true");
            props.put("mail.smtp.host", "exchange_host.MyDomain.com");
            props.put("mail.smtp.port", "25");
            props.put("mail.smtp.auth.mechanisms","NTLM");
            props.put("mail.smtp.auth.ntlm.domain","MyDomain");


            Session session = Session.getInstance(props,new MyAuthenticator(username,password));

            try {

                Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
                message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
                message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                    InternetAddress.parse("recipent_adresse"));
                message.setSubject("Testing Subject");
                message.setText("Dear Mail Crawler,"
                    + "\n\n No spam to my email, please!");

                Transport.send(message);

                System.out.println("Done");

            } catch (MessagingException e) {
                throw new RuntimeException(e);
            }
        }
    }

and this is my authentificator class :

import javax.mail.Authenticator;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;

public class MyAuthenticator extends Authenticator {

     String user;
     String pw;
     public MyAuthenticator (String username, String password)
     {
        super();
        this.user = username;
        this.pw = password;
     }
    public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
    {
       return new PasswordAuthentication(user, pw);
    }

}

i use the NTLM mechanism but i get this error :

please help me,i past several day to search solution but i found nothing

Solution

I have this working connecting to our Exchange 2010 server via NTLM.

NTLM uses your Windows login and password for authentication rather than your email address and password.

I made the following changes:

1) Username should be Windows login, NOT email address. NTLM uses your Windows credentials for authentication.

2) mail.smtp.auth.ntlm.domain should be your windows domain - i.e. the part before the slash if you normally log on to your Windows machine with "MYDOMAIN\id12345" as username.

Updated code below:

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    // *** CHANGED ***
    final String username = "id12345"; // ID you log into Windows with
    final String password = "MyWindowsPassword";

    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
    props.put("mail.debug", "true");

    props.put("mail.smtp.host", "exchangeserver.mydomain.com");
    props.put("mail.smtp.port", "25");
    props.put("mail.smtp.auth.mechanisms","NTLM");

    // *** CHANGED ***
    props.put("mail.smtp.auth.ntlm.domain","WINDOMAIN"); // Domain you log into Windows with


    Session session = Session.getInstance(props,new MyAuthenticator(username,password));

    try {

        Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
        message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
        message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                InternetAddress.parse("[email protected]"));
        message.setSubject("Test email");
        message.setText("TEST EMAIL");

        Transport.send(message);

        System.out.println("Done");

    } catch (MessagingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }


  public static class MyAuthenticator extends Authenticator {

    String user;
    String pw;
    public MyAuthenticator (String username, String password)
    {
        super();
        this.user = username;
        this.pw = password;
    }
    public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
    {
        return new PasswordAuthentication(user, pw);
    }
  }
}

For what it's worth, your original post helped me solve the problems I have had connecting which have been going on for several days.

One final point, you probably need to disable / change antivirus settings to allow access out on port 25.
