=head1 NAME
LWP::Authen::Ntlm - Library for enabling NTLM authentication (Microsoft) in LWP
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
my $url = 'http://www.company.com/protected_page.html';
# Set up the ntlm client and then the base64 encoded ntlm handshake message
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(keep_alive=>1);
$ua->credentials('www.company.com:80', '', "MyDomain\\MyUserCode", 'MyPassword');
$request = GET $url;
print "--Performing request now...-----------\n";
$response = $ua->request($request);
print "--Done with request-------------------\n";
if ($response->is_success) {print "It worked!->" . $response->code . "\n"}
else {print "It didn't work!->" . $response->code . "\n"}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<LWP::Authen::Ntlm> allows LWP to authenticate against servers that are using the
NTLM authentication scheme popularized by Microsoft. This type of authentication is
common on intranets of Microsoft-centric organizations.
The module takes advantage of the Authen::NTLM module by Mark Bush. Since there
is also another Authen::NTLM module available from CPAN by Yee Man Chan with an
entirely different interface, it is necessary to ensure that you have the correct
NTLM module.
In addition, there have been problems with incompatibilities between different
versions of Mime::Base64, which Bush's Authen::NTLM makes use of. Therefore, it is
necessary to ensure that your Mime::Base64 module supports exporting of the
encode_base64 and decode_base64 functions.
=head1 USAGE
The module is used indirectly through LWP, rather than including it directly in your
code. The LWP system will invoke the NTLM authentication when it encounters the
authentication scheme while attempting to retrieve a URL from a server. In order
for the NTLM authentication to work, you must have a few things set up in your
code prior to attempting to retrieve the URL:
=over 4
=item *
Enable persistent HTTP connections
To do this, pass the "keep_alive=>1" option to the LWP::UserAgent when creating it, like this:
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(keep_alive=>1);
=item *
Set the credentials on the UserAgent object
The credentials must be set like this:
$ua->credentials('www.company.com:80', '', "MyDomain\\MyUserCode", 'MyPassword');
Note that you cannot use the HTTP::Request object's authorization_basic() method to set
the credentials. Note, too, that the 'www.company.com:80' portion only sets credentials
on the specified port AND it is case-sensitive (this is due to the way LWP is coded, and
has nothing to do with LWP::Authen::Ntlm)

General queries regarding LWP should be made to the LWP Mailing List.
