If your application requires resources from an application using NTLM v2 authentication, you can use the JCIFS library to enable the Pega 7 Platform SOAP and HTTP connectors to access the resources.

By default, the Pega 7 Platform uses an Apache library to enable the connectors for NTLM v2, but you can alternatively use the open-source JCIFS library. The process involves two steps:

• Download the JCIFS library and store it in your application server’s /lib directory
• In Designer Studio, create a dynamic system setting to enable the new library’s use

Download the JCIFS library

Follow these steps to download the JCIFS library and put it in your runtime classpath:

1. Download JCIFS library (jar file, version 1.3.17 or later) from http://jcifs.samba.org/.
2. Copy the .jar file to the appropriate location on the application server for the runtime classpath. (For example, on a Tomcat system, the /lib folder.) Ensure the file is on the production application server and specified on the server’s classpath.
3. Restart the server.

Create dynamic system setting

Follow these steps to create dynamic system setting EnableJCIFSEngine:

1. In Application Explorer, right-click your application and select New > SysAdmin > Dynamic System Settings.
2. In the Dynamic System Settings: New rule form, enter Pega-IntegrationEngine in the Owning Ruleset field.
3. In the Setting Purpose field, enter EnableJCIFSEngine.

4. Click Create and open.
5. On the Settings tab, in the Value field, enter trueand save the rule.
