From what I've read today it seems like this is indeed as good as it gets, so we will work around or rethink. -- Cheers, Ben On 16/08/05, Oleg Kalnichevski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ben, > > This is entirely possible if the target server is configured to require > NTLMv2, which is believed to be more secure, whereas the proxy is > configured to accept older authentication schemes (LM and/or NTLMv1) > > This setup is likely to be somewhat less efficient and secure than a > direct connection to the target server, but this is as good as it gets > if you are not willing (or unable) to change the configuration of the > target server > > Oleg > > On Tue, Aug 16, 2005 at 03:12:13PM +0100, Ben Pickering wrote: > > Oleg > > > > Thank you for your reply.
