Hi, I need to do end to end NTLM auth with proxy in between. ie. Can some PAM(pam_samba?) API take the actual response from IE(the hashed key) as an input, instead of a real plaintext password. ANd then send that accross to NT server for authentication? The pam_samba takes the username and a plain text password. My problem is I want to use the PAM, but I don't know how to provide the pasword to the PAM- because IE doesnt send the password. Please reply at shilpask@hotmail.com Thanks!
