Thank you for the pointer, but it seems not to be correctly implement.
That's basically the eternal state of NTLM in a nutshell...
I did some minor modification to /lib/vauth/ntlm.c to ignore target_info_len
after which it worked.
Can you perhaps make a full fledged PR out of this suggested change?
Now I don’t know what is the reason for this check in the code and why it
makes it work.
Does anybody know ? Can it be fixed (assuming it is wrong as is ) ?
It is only code, I'm sure it can be fixed.
As to *why* it works like this, I would presume that the only safe way to
figure out is to backtrack in the commit history and see if the commit that
brought the change explained it, but I doubt it.
So, we're left to reading the code and trying to figure out why the check is
there... and when I try to, I fail to explain it. =(
