(Whiteboard: DUPME?)

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; fr; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5 Build Identifier: On companies intranet, NTLM is often used as a method to authenticate users based on their OS signon. This is completely transparent for them, and logs them in automatically on websites, provided authentication on intranet is done through AD/samba. NTLM login is located in REMOTE_USER variable. Bugzilla already supports environment-based authentication, but not NTLM. To support NTLM, this authentication method should be supported (almost same code as for environment variable), and the profile.extern_id column should be editable in a user profile when NTLM login is enabled (modifiable in user edition form). When the following is true then the user gets logged in, otherwise we fall back on CGI: - AUTH_TYPE = NTLM - REMOTE_USER = profile.extern_id Reproducible: Always

Well, I don't know if it's a duplicate, I did do a search on all bugzilla's bugs (opened and closed) with "NTLM" keyword though before filling that in ;-). Also searched with "OS signon" with no luck. The only thing I could find is on forums: http://www.nabble.com/NTLM-authentication-in-windows-to14192314.html#a14192314
