stream with authentication to a mac client dannyboy <danny[ at ]danny.com> 16.05.2007 14:12:38 I can't seem to get NTLM authentication to work on a mac. I've downloaded Windows Media Components for Quicktime and even Windows Media Player 9 for Mac. Nothing seems to get around this issue. Is there a way to use a difference type of authentication (secure, not clear text) or get a Mac client to authenticate correctly with NTLM? Thanks for any advice you can provide. Danny

Considering how poorly WMP9 works, it's probably better like that. In addition, there is a bug in WMP9 and it cannot stream over https. If I were you, I'd try redownaloding the FLip4Mac QT components (recently updated) and I'd reinstall them to make sure they properly disable WMP9. > Nothing seems to get around this issue.

RE: stream with authentication to a mac client w2ks 08.06.2007 20:41:02 danny, i'm working on the same problem as u are. NTLM authentication won't work in mac because the only authentication method mac supports is BASIC authentication. i've written a basic authentication plugin that can be used in conjuction with NTLM to connect mac clients to protected content in Windows Media Services9. for more secure authentication method, it might be worth a try combining basic authentication with SSL. i've tested my plugin and it works in mac. but again, it's clear text because that's how basic authentication works. flip4mac just wont work because the OS itself just doesn't suppor NTLM.
