Ubuntu
ntlmaps package

ntlmaps dpkg-reconfigure show different sets of installation wizard.

Asked by Renato Krause

I was installing a Ubuntu Intrepid server today. After, i transfer the file ntlmaps_0.9.9.0.1-10_all.deb by ssh to my $HOME. I execute : "sudo dpkg-i ntlmaps_0.9.9.0.1-10_all.deb". It presented an installation wizard. Ran: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure ntlmaps" and it show an assistant with more options. What happens?
Thanks for all atention.

Please simply configure ntlmaps using that options (which new or more options...?)

Supposing you have successful installed and configured the ntlmaps to get NTLM authentication to a Windows domains and you can now get access with your Ubuntu to the network.

Please also consider to install the cntlm package to get a more speed on your NTLM authentication than ntlmaps it have more or less same configuration as ntlmaps.

You need to enable the universe repository to get cntlm installed easily using this apt command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo atp-get install cntlm

Don' t remove your ntlmaps simply stop it, type:
sudo /etc/init.d/ntlmaps stop

Edit the /etc/ntlmaps/server.cfg to see the configuration parameters

sudo nano /etc/ntlmaps/server.cfg

Open another ssh connection to your remote server to copy and paste configuration parameter value from ntlmaps to cntlm:

sudo nano /etc/cntlm.conf

and to add additional parameter (i always use the already present default here) to the starting cntlm daemon
sudo nano /etc/default/cntlm

Then to start/restart cntlm

sudo /etc/init.d/cntlm restart

Then i suggest you to install the sysv-rc-sys package to manage your server starting service via ssh... and to disable the start of ntlmaps and enable the start of cntlm

I use cntlm every day and is very speedy...

Hope this helps

Very thanks.
I will test the cntlm sunday and propably abandon ntlmaps.

But the question is not solved:
The short domain not show in wizard of installation. Show only in dpkg-reconfigure. I fear this happen with other packages and i work in config files when is not needed.

My /etc/ntlmaps/server.cfg is ok. I configure it in hands and work ok. But im writing http://wiki.ubuntu-br.org/ntlmaps for share what i get and its happen.

Propably i will use cntlm but i like to finish the documentantion of ntlmaps in my language and translate for english too.

Taking advantage, I wonder if there is any way the login of cntlm be interactive. My Ubundu server authenticates itself to an AD domain. I like to use the credentials of the login. Thank you once more.
