The purpose of this module is to perform a user authentication via Mircosofts NTLM protocol. This protocol is supported by all versions of the Internet Explorer and is mainly usefull for intranets. Depending on your preferences setting IE will supply your windows logon credentials to the web server when the server asks for NTLM authentication. This saves the user to type in his/her password again. A lot of ideas and information are taken from the similar Apache module mod_ntlm, which can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/modntlm/ The main advantage of the Perl implementaion is, that it can be easily extented to verfiy the user/password against other sources than a windows domain controller. The default implementaion is to go to the domain controller for the given domain and verify the user. If you want to verify the user against another source, you can inherit from Apache::AuthenNTLM and override it's methods. To support users that aren't using Internet Explorer, Apache::AuthenNTLM can also perform basic authentication depending on it's configuration. Enjoy Gerald Changes since 0.14: - Added patch from Brian Paulsen which causes correct handling of non unicode charset (needed for some versions of win9x) and more verbose debugging output (decoded flags) ------------------------------------------------------------- Gerald Richter ecos electronic communication services gmbh Internetconnect * Webserver/-design/-datenbanken * Consulting Post: Tulpenstrasse 5 D-55276 Dienheim b.
