Description : Perform Microsoft NTLM and Basic User Authentication
The purpose of this module is to perform a user authentication via
Microsoft's NTLM protocol. This protocol is supported by all versions of
the Internet Explorer and is mainly useful 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.
The NTLM protocol performs a challenge/response to exchange a random
number (nonce) and get back a md4 hash, which is built from the user's
password and the nonce. This makes sure that no password goes over the
wire in plain text.
The main advantage of the Perl implementation is, that it can be easily
extended to verify the user/password against other sources than a
windows domain controller.
The defaultf implementation 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 Apache2::AuthenNTLM and override
it's methods.
