I had issues with this 15 years ago, then it was a bug in the JDK6 ... then we abandoned it and now it seems it will be abandoned by Microsoft too, see:

• https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-deprecates-windows-ntlm-authentication-protocol/
• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/deprecated-features

All versions of NTLM, including LANMAN, NTLMv1, and NTLMv2, are no longer under active feature development and are deprecated. Use of NTLM will continue to work in the next release of Windows Server and the next annual release of Windows. Calls to NTLM should be replaced by calls to Negotiate, which will try to authenticate with Kerberos and only fall back to NTLM when necessary. For more information, see Resources for deprecated features.
