| 2 | Help: Use HTTP NTLM authentication |
| 3 | Mutexed: basic negotiated digest anyauth |
| 4 | See-also: proxy-ntlm |
| 5 | Protocols: HTTP |
| 6 | Requires: TLS |
| 7 | --- |
| 8 | Enables NTLM authentication. The NTLM authentication method was designed by |
| 9 | Microsoft and is used by IIS web servers. It is a proprietary protocol, |
| 10 | reverse-engineered by clever people and implemented in curl based on their |
| 11 | efforts. This kind of behavior should not be endorsed, you should encourage |
| 12 | everyone who uses NTLM to switch to a public and documented authentication |
| 13 | method instead, such as Digest. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | If you want to enable NTLM for your proxy authentication, then use |
| 16 | --proxy-ntlm. |

| 18 | If this option is used several times, only the first one is used. |
