For Windows this is correct, you can use IE with NTLM/mod_auth_sspi.
But for non-Windows or non-IE clients - the answer is no, that's not
something that the web browser will typically divulge.
That's not complete correct. It gives still more browser than the IE, which
supports NTLM on Windows. For example Firefox. And Firefox can handle
automatic ntlm authentification too.
On a *nix server you can use mod_ntlm(2) to handle NTLM.So the only need is
the right Windows client. Other clients can fallback to auth basic and must
provide the credentials manually (or with kerberos).Regards,Carsten
