Question

Cntlm is an NTLM / NTLM Session Response / NTLMv2 authenticating HTTP proxy intended to help you break free from the chains of Microsoft proprietary world.

I have my proxy URL in the following format:

http://user:passwords@my_proxy_server.com:80

And I have to provide this information to cntlm. Its config file cntlm.ini has following structure and parameters:

Username 
Domain
Password    
Proxy   

I am not sure, how to break up my original proxy property to fill these four options?

Answer 1

Update your user, domain, and proxy information in cntlm.ini, then test your proxy with this command (run in your Cntlm installation folder):

cntlm -c cntlm.ini -I -M http://google.ro

It will ask for your password, and hopefully print your required authentication information, which must be saved in your cntlm.ini

Sample cntlm.ini:

Username            user
Domain              domain

# provide actual value if autodetection fails
# Workstation         pc-name

Proxy               my_proxy_server.com:80
NoProxy             127.0.0.*, 192.168.*

Listen              127.0.0.1:54321
Listen              192.168.1.42:8080
Gateway             no

SOCKS5Proxy         5000
# provide socks auth info if you want it
# SOCKS5User          socks-user:socks-password

# printed authentication info from the previous step
Auth            NTLMv2
PassNTLMv2      98D6986BCFA9886E41698C1686B58A09

Note: on linux the config file is cntlm.conf
