The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands
Solo open source maintainers face burnout and security challenges, with 60% unpaid and 60% considering quitting.
The httpntlm npm package is used to perform HTTP NTLM (NT LAN Manager) authentication. This is particularly useful for interacting with services that require NTLM authentication, such as certain Microsoft services and APIs.
NTLM Authentication
This feature allows you to perform a GET request with NTLM authentication. You need to provide the URL, username, password, workstation, and domain.
const httpntlm = require('httpntlm');
httpntlm.get({
url: 'https://example.com/api',
username: 'yourUsername',
password: 'yourPassword',
workstation: 'yourWorkstation',
domain: 'yourDomain'
}, function (err, res) {
if (err) return console.log(err);
console.log(res.headers);
console.log(res.body);
});
POST Request with NTLM Authentication
This feature allows you to perform a POST request with NTLM authentication. You need to provide the URL, username, password, workstation, domain, request body, and headers.
const httpntlm = require('httpntlm');
httpntlm.post({
url: 'https://example.com/api',
username: 'yourUsername',
password: 'yourPassword',
workstation: 'yourWorkstation',
domain: 'yourDomain',
body: '<xml>yourData</xml>',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/xml'
}
}, function (err, res) {
if (err) return console.log(err);
console.log(res.headers);
console.log(res.body);
});
The axios-ntlm package is an NTLM authentication interceptor for the popular axios HTTP client. It provides similar functionality to httpntlm but integrates with axios, allowing you to use axios' features and syntax while adding NTLM support.
The node-http-ntlm package is another library for NTLM authentication in Node.js. It offers similar capabilities to httpntlm but with a different API design. It is also actively maintained and provides comprehensive documentation.
The request-ntlm package is an NTLM authentication extension for the request library. It allows you to perform NTLM authenticated requests using the request library's API. This package is useful if you are already using request and need to add NTLM support.
httpntlm is a Node.js library to do HTTP NTLM authentication
It's a port from the Python libary python-ntml
You can install httpntlm using the Node Package Manager (npm):
npm install httpntlm
var httpntlm = require('httpntlm');
httpntlm.get({
url: "https://someurl.com",
username: 'm$',
password: 'stinks',
workstation: 'choose.something',
domain: ''
}, function (err, res){
if(err) return err;
console.log(res.headers);
console.log(res.body);
});
Currently only supports https
If you want to use the NTLM-functions yourself, you can access the ntlm-library like this:
var ntlm = require('httpntlm').ntlm;
var async = require('async');
var httpreq = require('httpreq');
var HttpsAgent = require('agentkeepalive').HttpsAgent;
var keepaliveAgent = new HttpsAgent();
var options = {
url: "https://someurl.com",
username: 'm$',
password: 'stinks',
workstation: 'choose.something',
domain: ''
};
async.waterfall([
function (callback){
var type1msg = ntlm.createType1Message(options);
httpreq.get(options.url, {
headers:{
'Connection' : 'keep-alive',
'Authorization': type1msg
},
agent: keepaliveAgent
}, callback);
},
function (res, callback){
if(!res.headers['www-authenticate'])
return callback(new Error('www-authenticate not found on response of second request'));
var type2msg = ntlm.parseType2Message(res.headers['www-authenticate']);
var type3msg = ntlm.createType3Message(type2msg, options);
httpreq.get(options.url, {
headers:{
'Connection' : 'Close',
'Authorization': type3msg
},
allowRedirects: false,
agent: keepaliveAgent
}, callback);
}
], function (err, res) {
if(err) return console.log(err);
console.log(res.headers);
console.log(res.body);
});
