Surya,

The Radware AppDirector load balancers can support HTTP probe with NTLM authentication.

Subject: [load balancing] HTTP probe with 401 NTLM-based HTTP authentication

 

Hello the ML.

I have to configure a cluster of NetScalers (but the question is open to other vendors also ;-) ) to load balance HTTP-based Sharepoint web servers, and it uses an NTLM challenged-based user authentication.

I can solve the problem with basic http auth. by sending an additionnal header with the login:password pair encoded in base-64, but what about using the challenge in NTLM mechanism ?

Does anyone know if any load balancer on the market is able to send HTTP probe when using NTLM auth on the back end servers ?

Otherwise I'll have to ask dev. to create a specific page available without any authentication.

regards,

Surya
