Add winrm protocol negotiation support #280

Open jkeiser opened 9 years ago

jkeiser commented 9 years ago

Negotiate by default on Windows. Right now, on Windows negotiation will succeed.

@adamedx says there is hacky stuff we can enable to get negotiation to succeed on Unix clients. We should negotiate and use SSL on those as well, if we set them up that way. Maybe negotiate-and-fallback always.

Add the ability to say whether or not to negotiate, but default to negotiate.

Parallels this: https://github.com/chef/knife-windows/blob/master/DOC_CHANGES.md#winrm-authentication-protocol-defaults-to-negotiate-regardless-of-name-formats

This is not strictly necessary for winrm to work (and winrm does work). But it's important :)
