NTLM and browsers
Junior Member Posts: 37 Join Date: 7/17/14 Recent Posts
Hi,

My connection with Liferay NTLM and IE 10 works perfectly, not on Firefox or Chrome.
I have seen a lot of topics in here and others forums about NTLM and Firefox/Chrome, none of them was recent. This is why i insist about it.

I've tried things like http://sivel.net/2007/05/firefox-ntlm-sso/ about:config network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris on Firefox.
Same issue.

Does someone know how to make it works with firefox or chrome?

I haven't heard anything recent but it doesn't surprise me. NTLM was always a M$-only thing. I don't believe the other browsers have any interest in supporting it fully.

Note that this is not really a Liferay issue so there's not much reason to talk about it here. That's probably the biggest reason that there's no recent discussions on it...

Hi Frederic!

Confirming, NTLM is working nice with other browsers except IE, but looks like Liferay do not know it yet.

Problem is here: https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/6.2.x/portal-impl/src/com/liferay/portal/servlet/filters/sso/ntlm/NtlmFilter.java#L89
Liferay checks for IE and disable NTLM support for other browsers except IE.

I think it was done because of this issue: https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-15559 or this one: https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-22375

I've created another one to return back support for other browsers: https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-56849 - vote for it if you like Liferay fixed it quickly!
