251358 - NTLM authentication broken in proxy user login

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 199674

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Heiko & Martin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; de-DE; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; de-DE; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

Logging on to a proxy with NTLM authentication without specifying the NT domain
(i. e. "myusername" instead of "domain\myusername") fails. When specifying the
domain, the login works. 



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into a windows NT/2000/XP-domain
2. Configure Firefox to use a NTLM authenticated proxy within this Windows-domain
3a. Start Firefox, when Proxy-Dialog appears enter <USERNAME> and <PASSWORD>
3b. Start Firefox, when Proxy-Dialog appears enter <DOMAIN\USERNAME> and <PASSWORD>

Actual Results:  
for 3a: Login fails.
for 3b: Login succeeds.


Expected Results:  
Both logins should succeed.

If the domain is ommitted firefox SWAPS domain and username in smb-type3msg:
The NT-domain should allways be placed at offset 0x40, but firefox puts the
username there. The domain is stored at offset 0x40+strlen(domain).

This is a mozilla bug.  Seems like useful info you've added though.
