I am curious whether a package upgrade will fix the problem, if this
windows 7 thingy has introduced an incompatibility that we expect MS
to
fix with their next release or if this is a valid request that uses a
hitherto unused part of the protocol and therefore we should allow for
it.
Are you actually talking about Windows 7 or IE8?
Other NTLM-enabled browsers may still work, IE: firefox.
I just booted win7 and connecte it to my proxy server using dansguardian
and squid (with NTLM) and all is working perfectly.
IIRC microsoft released a paper announcing they were obsoleting NTLM in
favour of kerberos/negotiate starting from Vista. The underlying OS may
not be capable of NTLM in places.
Of course, the browser should still know it. Whether that works depends
on which NTLM helper is being used. The squid bundled "ntlm_auth" helper
appears useless after WinXP. Samba one of same name keeps working fine.
