Hello
I couldn't find any info on how to enable NTLM for web services. Does anybody know the key that need to be added to the customSetting.config file?

Thanks.

    NTLM is MS authentication protocol.

    Freddy mentioned that it can be enabled in SP1, through customsetting.config file.

    but there is no detail on it.

    The key in the SP1 customsettings.config is

    <!--
    Turns on or off NTLM authentication protocol for Web Services
    false: Use SPNEGO (recommended)
    true: Use NTLM only
    -->
    <add key="WebServicesUseNTLMAuthentication" value="true"></add>

    This is NOT in CTP2 - you will have to wait for SP1 RTM in order to get this.

    NAV 2009 RTM used SPNEGO as authentication protocol only.
    SPNEGO is an authentication protocol, which should use Kerberos authentication and fall back to NTLM if kerberos fails (simplified description)

    NTLM is short for NT Lan Manager and is described here

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTLM

    Do why specify NTLM when SPNEGO should include NTLM?

    Reason is that Java, PHP and other non-microsoft programming environments doesn't have full support for SPNEGO yet - so in order to support these environments, we included NTLM.

    Now NTLM is NOT part of CTP2 - so you cannot use it until we ship NAV 2009 SP1 RTM.

    Hi Freddy, how is the situation now, connecting with PHP ? Does it work to use SPNEGO, or do we still need to use alternatives (NTLM or Basic)
