To configure the user authentication via NTLM:
- Login into Microsoft Windows as Administrator.
- Run the Configure Your Server application. (Control Panel / Administrative tools / Configure Your Server).
- Use the Networking/DHCP tab to configure a DHCP server if necessary.
- Use the Networking/DNS tab to configure DNS if necessary.
- Use the Active Directory tab to configure a domain controller if necessary.
- Use the Windows Components wizard to install WINS if necessary.
- Enable NTLM in trackstudio.security.properties
- Specify a domain name and WINS address in trackstudio.security.properties
jcifs.smb.client.domain=WORKGROUP
jcifs.netbios.wins=192.168.100.1
- Click the Test Connection button to test the NTLM connection.
How it works:
If trackstudio.useNTLM is set to yes, TrackStudio will use the NTLM protocol as the mechanism of users’ authentication. This mechanism provides the possibility of saving logon data about authorized users using WINS a service, and allows users to avoid entering their login name the next time they access TrackStudio.
