I have configured LIFERAY NTLM for windows based SSO which is working fine in Internet Explorer and i am able to use the application without providing any credentials but this is not working for Chrome and Firefox.

You can't.

This is not a Liferay thing. This is a browser thing. Chrome and Firefox have no incentive to support windows authentication so they don't.

No, it's a Liferay issue. NTLM is easily doable with Firefox and Chrome.

)
public class NtlmFilter extends BaseFilter {
	@Override
	public boolean isFilterEnabled(
		HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {

[color=#ff0000]		if (!_browserSniffer.isIe(request)) {
			return false;[/color]
}

Okay, I may be dating myself, but I know that check was originally added because of issues w/ non-IE browsers. I know that IE has always been able to handle NTLM, but chrome/ff used to prompt for the credentials anyway...

It still is a Liferay issue. NTLM works fine for several years now in other browsers. I remember, I had to remove the restriction for a customer in 2012 and AFAIK it works since then.

Anyway. The discussion here is moot. The issue was demoted to feature request, so nobody at Liferay will ever look at it again till a DXP customer opens a ticket. Not sure if this is an option for the OP. Otherwise, he needs to replace NTLMFilter to get it to work.

Find the code that Christoph quoted above and write a plugin that removes the condition. You can probably introduce your own filter through a hook (implement it by taking Liferay's NTLM-Filter as a basis) or, worst case, use an ext-plugin if the implementation doesn't work within a hook.

The only thing that you'd have to hope for is that this implementation just works with the other browsers and doesn't need any special handling. But according to Christoph's statement above, it seems that just removing the browserSniffer conditional might be enough.

No, that stupid, obsolete condition is still in there, to this day.

https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/7.2.x/modules/apps/portal-security-sso-ntlm/portal-security-sso-ntlm-impl/src/main/java/com/liferay/portal/security/sso/ntlm/internal/servlet/filter/NtlmFilter.java

It even locks out Edge, because Edge is identified as Chrome.
