public final class NTLM

extends java.lang.Object

Provides an implementation of the NTLM authentication protocol.

This class provides methods for generating authentication challenge responses for the NTLM authentication protocol. The NTLM protocol is a proprietary Microsoft protocol and as such no RFC exists for it. This class is based upon the reverse engineering efforts of a wide range of people.

Please note that an implementation of JCE must be correctly installed and configured when using NTLM support.

This class should not be used externally to HttpClient as it's API is specifically designed to work with HttpClient's use case, in particular it's connection management.
