Configuring ContentReporter for NTLM authentication
About NTLM authentication
ContentReporter gives you the ability to use an NT LAN Manager (NTLM) domain controller's user database to authenticate users. When users attempt to log into ContentReporter with their NTLM account, the ContentReporter server will retrieve the account information from the domain controller's database.
