Microsoft organises users by 'Domains'. Each Domain has a set of Domain Controllers. Domain Controllers perform authentication for users when you use the NTLM scheme. Without an NT Domain, and thus Domain Controllers, NTLM won't work. > I thought people were using ntlm authentication for this purpose (I mean not > being prompted for password).
