22 ntlm_auth \- tool to allow external access to Winbind's NTLM authentication function
26 \fBntlm_auth\fR [-d debuglevel] [-l logfile] [-s <smb config file>]
32 This tool is part of the \fBSamba\fR(7) suite\&.
35 \fBntlm_auth\fR is a helper utility that authenticates users using NT/LM authentication\&. It returns 0 if the users is authenticated successfully and 1 if access was denied\&. ntlm_auth uses winbind to access the user and authentication data for a domain\&. This utility is only to be used by other programs (currently squid)\&.
40 --helper-protocol=PROTO
41 Operate as a stdio-based helper
46 Specify username of user to authenticate
51 Specify domain of user to authenticate
55 --workstation=WORKSTATION
56 Specify the workstation the user authenticated from
61 challenge (HEX encoded)
65 --lm-response=RESPONSE
66 LM Response to the challenge (HEX encoded)
70 --nt-response=RESPONSE
71 NT or NTLMv2 Response to the challenge (HEX encoded)
76 User's plaintext password
81 Retreive LM session key
91 Prints the version number for \fBsmbd\fR\&.
95 -s <configuration file>
96 The file specified contains the configuration details required by the server\&. The information in this file includes server-specific information such as what printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide\&. See \fI smb\&.conf(5)\fR for more information\&. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time\&.
100 -d|--debug=debuglevel
101 \fIdebuglevel\fR is an integer from 0 to 10\&. The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero\&.
104 The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about the activities of the server\&. At level 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged\&. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day to day running - it generates a small amount of information about operations carried out\&.
107 Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should only be used when investigating a problem\&. Levels above 3 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic\&.
110 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log level parameter in the \fIsmb\&.conf(5)\fR file\&.
114 -l|--logfile=logbasename
115 File name for log/debug files\&. The extension \fB"\&.client"\fR will be appended\&. The log file is never removed by the client\&.
120 Print a summary of command line options\&.
126 This man page is correct for version 3\&.0 of the Samba suite\&.
131 The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&.
134 The ntlm_auth manpage was written by Jelmer Vernooij\&.
