I can tell you that is isn't supported. We only support NTLM auth with IIS. That being said, I also know that Apache and Tomcat both have modules that will allow them to do NTLM authentication, but I am not sure if they would work with anything but Windows.

If you can get the web server to authenticate, and pass in remote_user to Livelink, then it should work.

Personally, I have not come across anyone that has used NTLM auth on anything but Windows.

Hmm, on versions of DS before 3.0 that would turn on NTLM authentication, but I still don't know that it would give you the results you want. It would definitely be something you would need to test, remember this is not supported, so it has never been tested by OT. In 3.0 all of these settings have been moved to the database. they may still exist in the ini, but we aren't reading from it.

Just a minor correction. In DS 3.0, the authentication settings are still read from opentext.ini. The synchronization settings were moved to the database.What is the exact environment where this is being deployed? Editing something in regedit sounds like a Windows thing. You may be able to get away with changing the Authentication=NTLM if you will not being using any programs that depend on LAPI. Those will fail if they need to authenticate against the directory service because the dropin that does the authentication doesn't, and will not, exist on Solaris. In general, you'll probably be happier trying to use LDAP.
