Can a Lotus Notes client identify Windows Active Directory users, using Vital Security NG (NTLM authentication)?


  • Question
    Can a Lotus Notes client identify Windows Active Directory users using Vital Security NG (NTLM authentication)?

  • Answer
    No, Lotus Notes does not support NTLM authentication.
    Therefore it can't authenticate Active Directory users that were imported by the Vital Security NG proxy, using NTLM authentication.

    There is an open feature request for IBM to add NTLM support to Lotus Notes.
