NTLM in AEM 5.6.1

Hello!

 

I’m looking for documentation about how to configure NTLM authentication in AEM 5.6.1.

For now, I’ve located these documents: [1],[2], [3] and [4], but in my opinion they’re very brief and incomplete. I need more detailed info. Specifically, I need information about the disableNTLMAuth parameter in LoginModule and NTLMAuthorizableAction.

Any more general, explanatory information regarding 'NTLM in AEM 5.6.1' concept would be also very appreciated.

Do you know any good source of information?

The product team simply said this is a supported use case. 

As you stated that authenication via LDAP was one of your goals -- this is a supported. As an example -- see the follownig artilce that bases this use case on Apache Directory Service. This artilce shows you how you can configure CQ to pull in users from this specific LDAP systems. See

Your 2nd goals is SSO: "Windows domain don’t have to write their username/password to access to CQ, so I would like to set up the NTLM, or Windows authentication."

IN this article:

http://www.wemblog.com/2012/06/how-to-add-custom-login-module-in-cq55.html it states that you have to write an OSGi bundle that uses org.apache.jackrabbit.core.security.authentication.AbstractLoginModule. Have you done this yet? That would be the way to meet your needs

Here is a good piece of content that talks about extending Jackrabbit’s AbstractLoginModule:

We do not have articles like this for AEM currently. However -- we are talking about the possibility of creating something like this meant to work with AEM. A step by step guide.
