David, You _really_ can't use NTLM to authenticate with the proxy and the target host at the same, due to the nature of this authentication scheme. Really. That was not a joke. Please consider using one of the following combinations instead: (1) BASIC proxy + NTLM host if both the clent and the proxy are within a trusted network segment (2) NTLM proxy + SSL + BASIC host Both combinations should provide an adequate (or better in the latter case) security Hope this helps Oleg > > If anyone can point me in the direction of the light at the end of the tunnel > I'd really appreciate it. > > Thanks, > David > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
