Overview
When Integration Server executes services that access web pages, Integration Server behaves like a web client making a request to a web server. Integration Server supports NTLM (Windows NT LAN Manager) authentication on the connection from Integration Server to web servers that support NTLM authentication. When properly configured for NTLM client support, Integration Server responds to an NTLM challenge from a web server with the appropriate authentication credentials.
You can use Integration Server to enable NTLM authentication support for service requests where Integration Server acts as the client. Integration Server provides two variants of NTLM client support:
Java-based NTLM for UNIX platforms and Windows systems.
Native NTLM for Windows systems.
For Native NTLM, Integration Server uses Integrated Windows authentication as a means of authenticating its identity while establishing connections between Integration Server and web servers on an intranet.
This appendix explains how to use NTLM authentication with Integration Server when Integration Server acts as the client only.
Note:
Software AG does not recommend using NTLM authentication due to known security vulnerabilities. Software AG continues to support NTLM for backward compatibility purposes only.
