Add NTLM support with no cost

behackett commented 4 years ago

That's interesting. How would someone use WinKerberos to authenticate with NTLM? Can you add an example to https://github.com/mongodb-labs/winkerberos/blob/master/doc/index.rst?

Just use NTLM mechid, that is. Actually this patch is needed only because you check PyCapsule :)

A self contained example in the docs would be really helpful to users (and me, since users will ask me and I have no experience with NTLM). I looked at the project you're using WinKerberos in. It doesn't look like the kerberos example in our docs will work for NTLM.

Hi, I'm going to close this without merging. If you can provide some documentation or at least a use case I'm happy to reconsider it. I have no idea how you would use WinKerberos to do NTLM auth, so have no way to provide any kind of help to users about it.
