Cookies are not processed while NTLM handshaking takes place

when responding to initial authentication needed response from a tomcat java web application, "Set-Cookie" header is not processed and put back to the second request as JSESSIONID which results in getting another "Set-Cookie" header on the second response with a differnt seesion id, on the third response, similar scenario happens. is there a way to force response interceptors to run while NTLM handshaking is happening?
