Bug#289248: RFA: ntlmaps -- NTLM Authorization Proxy Server
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the ntlmaps package.
The package is working fine, I'm happy to keep maintaining it as
upstream
releases come in (a new person has recently taken over upstream
development).
The reason I'm putting it up for adoption is that I'm no longer stuck
behind
a Microsoft Poxy Server, so I no longer need to use ntlmaps myself. I
won't
be able to test new releases satisfactorily.
The package description is:
'NTLM Authorization Proxy Server' (APS) is a proxy software that
allows you to authenticate via an MS Proxy Server (e.g. ISA server)
using the proprietary NTLM protocol. Since version 0.9.5 APS has an
ability to behave as a standalone proxy server and authenticate http
clients at web servers using NTLM method. It can change arbitrary
values in your client's request header so that those requests will
look like they were created by MS IE. It is written in Python v1.5.2
language.
.
Main features:
* supports NTLM authentication via parent proxy server
(Error 407 Proxy Authentication Required)
* supports NTLM authentication at web servers
(Error 401 Access Denied/Unauthorized)
* supports translation of NTLM scheme to standard "Basic"
authentication scheme
* supports the HTTPS 'CONNECT' method for transparent tunnelling
through parent proxy server
* has ability to change arbitrary values in client's request
headers;
* supports unlimited number of client connections
* supports connections from external hosts
* supports HTTP 1.1 persistent connections
* stores user's credentials in config file or requests
password from a console during the start time
