367067 - Integrated Authentication page omits NTLM configuration

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter Horsfield]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: 

This is the main page when I search on google for how to enable windows integrated authentication in Firefox, however the details here are incomplete. It is also necessary to set a couple of extra parameters to enable NTLM credentials to be exchanged.

I think it would be helpful to add this information here. Diff is attached.

Also I cannot find how to reach this page from the mozilla.org pages like http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/

So perhaps a link should be added there too.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Follow instructions in page
Actual Results:  
You are still prompted for authentication credentials when you visit a web page that is configured for integrated authentication.

Expected Results:  
Firefox exchanges NTLM credentials transparently with the remote server.

It looks like this documentation is also on MDC at:

http://developer.mozilla.org/En/Integrated_Authentication

I'll set up a redirect to have the page on www.mozilla.org point to the page on MDC.

I'll also change the product of this bug to Mozilla Developer Center for further discussion about adding detail to this page.

Looks like the docs were updated. (Trying to clear out obsolete ntlm bugs.)
