site:deploy via webdav to a NTLM based location

[Siarhei Dudzin]

Hi All,

I am trying to deploy a site to MS Sharepoint which is *not* behind a proxy
via webdav (Sharepoint supports webdav protocol).

For that I have defined site in my pom (it worked well for deployment to IIS
via webdav which didnt use NTLM auithentication):

    <distributionManagement>
        <site>
            <id>my.webdav.site</id>
            <name>Development Server</name>
            <url>dav:https://<my_web_dav_location>/<path>/</url>
        </site>
    </distributionManagement>

During the deployment I am getting the following messages:

WARNING: No credentials available for the 'null' authentication realm at
my.webdav.site

and finally deployment fails with "Return code is: 401 Unauthorized".

If I try to specify a server in my settings.xml with a username and password
I am getting a different error message:

WARNING: Credentials cannot be used for NTLM authentication:
org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials


Am I trying something which is impossible atm?

Thanks in advance,

Siarhei
