NTLMv2 is the default.
This adds a new preference:
network.ntlm.force-generic-ntlm-v1
This is to allow use of NTLMv1 in case issues are found in the NTLMv2
handler, or when contacting a server or backing DC that does not
support NTLMv2 for any reason.
To support this, we also:
- Revert "Bug 1030426 - network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1-https allows sending NTLMv1 credentials in plain to HTTP proxies, r=mcmanus"
- Revert "Bug 1023748 - Allow NTLMv1 over SSL/TLS by default, r=jduell"
- Remove LM code from internal NTLM handler
The LM response should essentially never be sent, the last practical
use case was CIFS connections to Windows 9X, I have never seen a web
server that could only do LM
It is removed before the NTLMv2 work is done so as to avoid having 3
possible states here (LM, NTLM, NTLMv2) to control via preferences.
