httpntlm

What is httpntlm?

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.

What are httpntlm's main functionalities?

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);
});

Other packages similar to httpntlm

axios-ntlm

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.

node-http-ntlm

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.

request-ntlm

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.

Install

You can install httpntlm using the Node Package Manager (npm):

npm install httpntlm

How to use

var httpntlm = require('httpntlm');

httpntlm.get({
    url: "https://someurl.com",
    username: 'm$',
    password: 'stinks',
    workstation: 'choose.something',
    domain: ''
}, function (err, res){
    if(err) return console.log(err);

    console.log(res.headers);
    console.log(res.body);
});

It supports http and https.

pre-encrypt the password

var httpntlm = require('httpntlm');
var ntlm = httpntlm.ntlm;
var lm = ntlm.create_LM_hashed_password('Azx123456');
var nt = ntlm.create_NT_hashed_password('Azx123456');
console.log(lm);
console.log(Array.prototype.slice.call(lm, 0));
lm = new Buffer([ 183, 180, 19, 95, 163, 5, 118, 130, 30, 146, 159, 252, 1, 57, 81, 39 ]);
console.log(lm);

console.log(nt);
console.log(Array.prototype.slice.call(nt, 0));
nt = new Buffer([150, 27, 7, 219, 220, 207, 134, 159, 42, 60, 153, 28, 131, 148, 14, 1]);
console.log(nt);


httpntlm.get({
    url: "https://someurl.com",
    username: 'm$',
    lm_password: lm,
    nt_password: nt,
    workstation: 'choose.something',
    domain: ''
}, function (err, res){
    if(err) return err;

    console.log(res.headers);
    console.log(res.body);
});

/* you can save the array into your code and use it when you need it

<Buffer b7 b4 13 5f a3 05 76 82 1e 92 9f fc 01 39 51 27>// before convert to array
[ 183, 180, 19, 95, 163, 5, 118, 130, 30, 146, 159, 252, 1, 57, 81, 39 ]// convert to array
<Buffer b7 b4 13 5f a3 05 76 82 1e 92 9f fc 01 39 51 27>//convert back to buffer

<Buffer 96 1b 07 db dc cf 86 9f 2a 3c 99 1c 83 94 0e 01>
[ 150, 27, 7, 219, 220, 207, 134, 159, 42, 60, 153, 28, 131, 148, 14, 1 ]
<Buffer 96 1b 07 db dc cf 86 9f 2a 3c 99 1c 83 94 0e 01>
*/

Options

• url: {String} URL to connect. (Required)
• username: {String} Username. (Required)
• password: {String} Password. (Required)
• workstation: {String} Name of workstation or ''.
• domain: {String} Name of domain or ''.

if you already got the encrypted password,you should use this two param to replace the 'password' param.

• lm_password {Buffer} encrypted lm password.(Required)
• nt_password {Buffer} encrypted nt password. (Required)

You can also pass along all other options of httpreq, including custom headers, cookies, body data, ... and use POST, PUT or DELETE instead of GET.

NTLMv2

When NTLMv2 extended security and target information can be negotiated with the server, this library assumes the server supports NTLMv2 and creates responses according to the NTLMv2 specification (the actually supported NTLM version cannot be negotiated). Otherwise, NTLMv1 or NTLMv1 with NTLMv2 extended security will be used.

Advanced

If you want to use the NTLM-functions yourself, you can access the ntlm-library like this (https example):

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);

        setImmediate(function() {
            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);
});

Download binary files

httpntlm.get({
    url: "https://someurl.com/file.xls",
    username: 'm$',
    password: 'stinks',
    workstation: 'choose.something',
    domain: '',
    binary: true
}, function (err, response) {
    if(err) return console.log(err);
    fs.writeFile("file.xls", response.body, function (err) {
        if(err) return console.log("error writing file");
        console.log("file.xls saved!");
    });
});
