Support for NTLM v2 authentication

Question & Answer


Question

Can NTLM v2 authentication be configured for ISAMESSO. This is a Websphere side configuration and as the IMS Server uses the WebSphere Application Server Virtual Member Manager component for authentication, is this supported by VMM ?

Answer

Virtual Member Manager can communicate with Active Directory with standard JNDI calls. It needs a few things for the configuration ie. Host,port,bindDn and password.

If these things can fetch the information from backEnd AD then VMM works fine.
VMM only knows how to talk to AD (LDAP supporting LDAPv3 protocol) No matter if it is part of domain or it refers to some other LDAP..These fall under additional Custom setups of a repository. Therefore, VMM supports Kerberos mechanism for authentication under ActiveDirectory.

Unfortunately it does not support NTLMv2
