Ben, This is entirely possible if the target server is configured to require NTLMv2, which is believed to be more secure, whereas the proxy is configured to accept older authentication schemes (LM and/or NTLMv1)
This setup is likely to be somewhat less efficient and secure than a direct connection to the target server, but this is as good as it gets if you are not willing (or unable) to change the configuration of the target server Oleg On Tue, Aug 16, 2005 at 03:12:13PM +0100, Ben Pickering wrote: > Oleg > > Thank you for your reply.
