Add NTLM support in Agent

[NikolayKash]

Hello.
There is a nodejs library which allows to connect to server side using ntlm auth https://github.com/SamDecrock/node-http-ntlm

We have the issue related to linux agent connecting to TFS 2015 on prem and we have to change auth mode in IIS http://blogs.teamfoundation.co.za/2015/05/installing-and-configuring-tfs-2015-on.html

But this is not good from security perspective.

Is it possible to add NTLM support to Agent?

Thanks!

Yes, I did a prototype using that exact library and it seems to work. This is on the backlog and will hopefully come soon. We also need it for tfx-cli

Thanks to fast reply
Can I get sources of your propotype?
I can help with testing of it.

It was just a file that called the http file in node-http-ntlm passing one of our intranet sites and it worked.

I will update this issue when we have something to try/test

[NikolayKash]

Ok, looking forward to get an update

Next month we start convergence on ONE core CLR xplat agent as opposed to a win agent and xplat node agent. With that work will come ntlm support. Closing this to backlog.
