	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para>This tool is part of the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>

	<para><command>ntlm_auth4</command> is a helper utility that authenticates
	users using NT/LM authentication. It returns 0 if the users is authenticated
	successfully and 1 if access was denied. ntlm_auth4 uses winbind to access
	the user and authentication data for a domain.  This utility
	is only indended to be used by other programs (currently squid).
	</para>

	<title>OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS</title>

    <para>
    The <citerefentry><refentrytitle>winbindd</refentrytitle>
    <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> daemon must be operational
    for many of these commands to function.</para>

    <para>Some of these commands also require access to the directory
    <filename>winbindd_privileged</filename> in
    <filename>$LOCKDIR</filename>.  This should be done either by running
    this command as root or providing group access
    to the <filename>winbindd_privileged</filename> directory.  For
    security reasons, this directory should not be world-accessable. </para>

	<title>EXAMPLE SETUP</title>

        <para>To setup ntlm_auth4 for use by squid 2.5, with both basic and
	NTLMSSP authentication, the following
	should be placed in the <filename>squid.conf</filename> file.
<programlisting>
auth_param ntlm program ntlm_auth4 --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp
auth_param basic program ntlm_auth4 --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-basic
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours
</programlisting></para>

<note><para>This example assumes that ntlm_auth4 has been installed into your
      path, and that the group permissions on
      <filename>winbindd_privileged</filename> are as described above.</para></note>

	<para>To setup ntlm_auth4 for use by squid 2.5 with group limitation in addition to the above
	example, the following should be added to the <filename>squid.conf</filename> file.
<programlisting>
auth_param ntlm program ntlm_auth4 --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp --require-membership-of='WORKGROUP\Domain Users'
auth_param basic program ntlm_auth4 --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-basic --require-membership-of='WORKGROUP\Domain Users'
</programlisting></para>

	<title>TROUBLESHOOTING</title>

	<para>If you're experiencing problems with authenticating Internet Explorer running
	under MS Windows 9X or Millenium Edition against ntlm_auth4's NTLMSSP authentication
	helper (--helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp), then please read
	<ulink url="http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q239/8/69.ASP">
	the Microsoft Knowledge Base article #239869 and follow instructions described there</ulink>.

	<title>AUTHOR</title>

	<para>The original Samba software and related utilities
	were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
	by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
	to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>

	<para>The ntlm_auth4 manpage was written by Jelmer Vernooij and
	Andrew Bartlett.</para>
