Description
This adds support for NTLM authentication through the ApacheHttpClient implementation. It takes advantage of the default AuthSchemeRegistry that the builder creates when none is supplied, which includes support for NTLM. And so, supplying the NT credentials and target auth scheme will activate it within the http client from the config.
Unfortunately, the tests are quite limited since a true test would require an environment with an LDAP setup and a system configured with NTLM auth. I couldn't find anything readily available to support that, so I have only included a test for configuring NTLM within a Karate script and tested it against a valid NTLM system within my org locally.
