Configuring Stateful NT LAN Manager Authentication

The Stateful NTLM Authentication profile requires that you specify a server group, which includes the servers performing NT LAN Manager authentication and the role to be assigned to users who are successfully authenticated. For details on defining a windows server used for NT LAN Manager authentication, see Configuring a Windows Server.

When a user logs off or shuts down the client machine, the user remains in the authenticated role until the user ages out, meaning there is no user traffic for the amount of time specified in the User idle timeout setting under Configuration > Authentication > Advanced > Authentication Timers.

The following CLI commands configure stateful NT LAN Manager authentication. The first set of commands defines the Windows server used for NT LAN Manager authentication, and the second set adds that server to a server group. The third set associates that server group with the stateful NT LAN Manager authentication profile, then defines the profile settings.

The following CLI Command-Line Interface. A console interface with a command line shell that allows users to execute text input as commands and convert these commands to appropriate functions. commands display the servers and profiles configured for stateful NT LAN Local Area Network.
