NullPointerException in Alfresco 1.3 with WEBDAV NTLM authen

[sagar]

I'm getting the null pointer exception due to null session variable. The line 765 refers to the following line:

ntlmToken.setChallenge(new NTLMChallenge(authSess.getEncryptionKey()));

Hi,

I've managed to reproduce the problem here by using a passthru server list with a server that does not exist, so there are no valid/online passthru servers to authenticate against.

I'm looking into the fix.

Cheers

Gary

Thanks for that info.
