NTML authentication for node.js
jsntlm is a node.js implementation of NTLM authentication.
This implementation is a free JavaScript adaptation of https://github.com/joval/ntlm-java, which is itself based on https://code.google.com/p/ntlm-java/.
NTLM protocol
NTLM is a challenge-response authentication protocol which uses three messages to authenticate a client in a connection oriented environment (connectionless is similar),
and a fourth additional message if integrity is desired.
First, the client establishes a network path to the server and sends a NEGOTIATE_MESSAGE advertising its capabilities.
Next, the server responds with CHALLENGE_MESSAGE which is used to establish the identity of the client.
Finally, the client responds to the challenge with an AUTHENTICATE_MESSAGE.
