Description Peter Parzer 2003-09-24 11:17:17 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

It would be nice to habe NTLM authentification for smtp. Since our
departement changed to Exchange 2003 I cannot not use kmail anymore to send email to the outside world.

Information on NTLM can be found at http://www.innovation.ch/java/ntlm.html and http://de.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/ENCRYPTION.html

I can offer a hand in programming, if someone can point me to the relevant code pieces in kmail.

kdebase/kioslave/smtp in KDE CVS
Comment 2 Daniel Molkentin 2003-09-24 11:55:05 UTC 
It's NTLM (LT LanManager). As this is useful for all KIO slaves, It should probably be files as KIO 
bug (IIS has NTLM auth, too). Thus it dublicates #58356  
 
Whoever wants to implement that should additinally have a look at: 
 
- Perl::AuthenNTLM 
- SASL-NTLM module 

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 58356 ***

This is the purpose of ntlm_auth, a utility included in the now-released Samba 3.0.

It provides an execuatable interface to which outside programs can talk, to gain
access to our NTLMSSP implementation.

There isn't a raw 'NTLMSSP interface' for clients at the moment, but it would
not be hard to add one, following the model of the SPENGO client.
