Configuring NTLM Authentication
If the target network uses the NTLM protocol to verify the user’s access rights, you need to set up an NTLM authentication object. The protocol requires a user to be authenticated by providing a username and a corresponding password. After the user’s log-in credentials are recognized, the network can then check access rights and allow the user to enter.
Therefore, you can grant Bright access to an NTLM authenticated network you are going to use for a scan by providing your credentials, workstation name, and the network domain.
Note
This topic describes only how to fill in fields specific for NTLM authentication (the Setup tab). For general steps, see Creating Authentication.
Note
Before following the instructions below, ensure that your application and authenticated resources are accessible to the Bright engine, either directly from the Internet or via the Repeater.
From the Authentication type dropdown list, select NTLM authentication, and then proceed to the authentication details.
