Implementing NTLM Authentication for Windows
There are two scenarios in which NTLM authentication is used with TDV:
Scenario
Description
TDV is the server
Using NTLM to authenticate clients requesting a published web service through Studio. After receiving a client request, TDV replies with the NTLM challenge, to which the client must respond with an authentication message. After TDV is satisfied with the response, it returns the results to the client.
TDV is the client
Introspecting or consuming a WSDL or XML/HTTP data source through a Web service such as Microsoft SharePoint. To retrieve the data, TDV makes a request to which the Web service replies with the NTLM challenge. TDV must then respond with the correct authentication message. After the challenge is resolved, TDV gets the results from the Web services.
The configuration process depends on which scenario you are configuring NTLM authentication for:
Configuring TDV as the Server
Configuring SQL Server in the TDV Server to use Windows Authentication
Configuring TDV as the Client
