    I am trying to access Exchange Web Service 2007 from a Java client using Axis2 framework.

    Following are the System details

    Axis version: 1.5.1

    Java Version: 1.5.0_13

    Authentication: NTLM

    Protocol: HTTPS

    Platform: Windows XP

    I have tried everything I could possibly find but still I keep getting stuck at an "401 Unauthorised" message from Service.

    Following is a part of trace

    Does this mean I am not providing valid Credentials or does this mean I am not able to send NTLM credentials correctly ?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    the line

    2009/11/05 16:42:16:291 IST [DEBUG] HttpMethodDirector - Credentials provider not available

    tells me, that your axis2 package does not support NTLM authentication...

    But I don't know if such a provider exists for axis2...

    Kind regards,
    Henning Krause

    Hi Henning

    Thanks for replying.
    Axis2 package I am using does support NTLM authentication. I was making a mistake in the hostname field that i provided. Now, I am past the error above and facing a new error. 
    This looks more like a configuration error. But I am not sure. Can you please help ?
