* Package name : libntlm Version : 0.3.10 Upstream Author : Simon Josefsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://josefsson.org/libntlm/ * License : LGPL Description : NTLM authentication library NTLM is an authentication protocol used in various Microsoft network protocol implementations and supported by the NTLM Security Support Provider ("NTLMSSP"). Originally used for authentication and negotiation of secure DCE/RPC, NTLM is also used throughout Microsoft's systems as an integrated single sign-on mechanism. . NTLM employs a challenge-response mechanism for authentication, in which clients are able to prove their identities without sending a password to the server. It consists of three messages, commonly referred to as Type 1 (negotiation), Type 2 (challenge) and Type 3 (authentication). This code was initially taken mostly from the Samba project and was initially intended for use with Microsoft Exchange Server when it is configured to require NTLM authentication for clients of it's IMAP server. Today, libntlm contains re-written code, so that the license is now LGPL instead of the GPL that would be inherited from the Samba files. Libntlm can be used by gsasl, a GNU library that implements the IETF Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) framework.
