IMHO, the only reason for an open source server running on W2K to NOT
support NTLM authentication is bigotry - the SSPI APIs needed to support
NTLM are pretty simple to support and are well documented.  Oh, and you
get K4/K5 authentication for free, since there's an SSPI provider for
K4/K5 available in SSPI.

See

00.asp for more details.

Subject: Outlook express AUTH command

Hi there,

This is not really IMAP related question, but:

Does anybody know, what AUTH modes are supported by Outlook Express?
I've
just heard that APOP or CRAM-MD5 is not supported. Only LOGIN is, and
this
is not real password protection, since this is just BASE64
login/password
encryption and anyone can decrypt them. So how can I connect securely to
server with OE, except for SSL?

BTW, will UW-IMAP support NTLM authentication? Is there any Open Source
server, that does?

Cheers,
Marek.
