If you’re browsing behind Microsoft Proxy Server, you’ll be familiar with NTLM authentication prompt your username and password. It’s pretty annoying as you need to type it everytime you open the browser.
Even some Internet application doesn’t support NTLM authentication, for example like Download Accelerator. Some browser like older versions of Firefox asking you the password everytime it load a page.
Fortunately, there is some application that can solve the problem. It’s called NTLM Authorization Proxy Server (NTLMAPS), a proxy software written in Python that allows you to authenticate via Microsoft Proxy Server using NTLM protocol. In order to use the software in Windows, you must install python first or you can use Windows version of it (a standalone executable that does not require python to be installed compiled using py2exe).
