Configure NTLM Authentication

If CA IAM Connector Server is running on a Windows computer and NTLM is the strongest authentication scheme supported by the HTTP proxy, the Google Apps connector attempts to use NTLM authentication with the HTTP proxy.

On a Windows computer, CA IAM Connector Server is installed as a Windows Service and runs as Local System by default. If your HTTP proxy server uses NTLM authentication, configure CA IAM Connector Server to run under a Windows domain account or a Windows local account.

To configure NTLM authentication, do either of the following:

• Run CA IAM Connector Server with a Windows account that can be authenticated with the HTTP proxy server without providing a user name and password for proxy authentication when creating the endpoint.
• Run CA IAM Connector Server with a Windows account that cannot be authenticated with the HTTP proxy server, and provide a HTTP user name and password that can be authenticated with the proxy when creating the endpoint.

Note: If you use a Windows domain user for HTTP proxy authentication, prefix the HTTP proxy user name with the Windows domain that the user is in. For example, DOMAIN\ProxyUserAccountName.
