NTLM Authentication and SharePoint web services

[cmornard]

I am trying to use handsoap 1.1.4 to consume SharePoint 2003 (WSS 2.0) web services. After fiddling a little bit with the configuration of namespaces, I have come to the point where I can send a correct SOAP request but I receive 401 HTTP error: Unauthorized. I am following the guidelines for HTTP authentication (http_request.set_auth @@username, @password) but I believe SharePoint requires NTLM. Is there any way to make that work with Handsoap?

Hello,

It should be possible to add support for NTLM auth in Net::HTTP and Curb drivers at least. However, we haven't a sharepoint server at work, so testing it will be difficult.

Just make sure that the gem 'rubyntlm' is installed. It does not get installed as a dependency so it may not be there. I did some playing with Sharepoint Web Services a while back and it worked great. If you want some examples check out:

I found a bug in the 'rubyntlm' gem when the Kerberos-style "user@realm"
format is used. Here's a link to my commit with the fix:
