NTLM Integration Test Plan
The following writeup describes how to setup an NTLM enabled connection via Windows Server in order to test HTTPI/Savon over NTLM connections.
-
First, download the Windows Server 2012 Evaluation VHD from Microsoft. (You'll need to login with a free Microsoft LIVE account and fill out some marketing information.)
-
Next, extract the VHD (if in windows, you can run the exe to do this, otherwise, use Rar to extract. You may use any vm capable of running VHD, I used VirtualBox.)
-
Create a new VM and point it at the extracted VHD. Set networking to bridged adapter (so that you can test the guest server from your host system.)
-
Once you boot the VM and set the admin password, you can log in. Server Manager will automatically startup.
-
[OPTIONAL] Click Local Server and change the Computer name to "ntlmtest" and restart. (this is optional, if you want to use the existing default name for the guest server you can.)
-
Follow the instructions to install IIS8.
-
[IMPORTANT] When you get to the page "Role Services", Look under "Web Server: Security" and check "Windows Authentication" (this is NTLM). Install IIS.
-
From a browser on your host OS, you should now be able to go to the IIS8 server and see the default page: http://ntlmtest
-
In the Server Manager select "Tools: Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager".
-
Expand the list in "Connections" and find the "Default Web Site". Left click it.
-
Double-click "Authentication" and then select "Anonymous Authentication". Click "Disable" on the right Action menu.
-
Next, select "Windows Authentication" and then click "Enable" on the right Action menu.
-
Restart your browser and go to http://ntlmtest. You should see an authentication prompt. Enter garbage and confirm failure. Next, we will setup a test account for access.
-
From "Server Manager", select "Tools: Computer Management".
-
Expand "Computer Management (Local): System Tools: Local Users and Groups". Right-click on the "Users" folder and select "New User..."
-
Enter user name: "tester", and password: "vReqSoafRe5O". Uncheck "User must change password" and check "User cannot change password" and "Password never expires". Click Create.
-
Now, go back to your test page: http://ntlmtest and enter your user/pass. You should now be authenticated and see the page.
Your server is now configured for NTLM integration tests with HTTPI. Once a request is correctly processed over NTLM, you should be able to use Savon to access web services, although this test plan does not cover setting up a web service.
