NTLM buffer length insufficient

Hi,

The default NTLM buffer length, as defined in tds/sspi.c (NTLMBUF_LEN = 4096) is insufficient in my environment. The token returned is 7566 bytes long. As a result, the call to InitializeSecurityContext() in tds_sspi_get_auth() returns SEC_E_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY.

I have recompiled with a larger buffer size (16384) and tds_sspi_get_auth() now works.

I wonder if this is the right way to fix this - should people adjust the buffer length as needed and rebuild? Or should the default be increased in the trunk?

Thanks,
Sam
