Configuring SharePoint 2013 with iApp and APM

I understand that SharePoint 2013 uses NTLM 2 auth, however, the iApp template doesn't seem to permit anything other that NTLM 1.

 

Can anyone confirm that:

 

SharePoint 2013 requires NTLM 2 auth

 

There is a way to configure the iApp 2013 template with NTLM 2?

 

Regards,

 

Evan

  • i don't see anywhere mentioned that SharePoint 2013 requires NTLMv2: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262350.aspx

     

    if you really want to use NTLMv2 you could just follow the iApp and modify that part of the setup later. and if you are up for it you could probably dive into the iApp and modify it there.

    Thank you very much!

     

    I guess I'm a little unclear on the overall authentication picture with APM/SharePoint/iApp.

     

    Here's what I think I understand:

     

    The APM is configured with a local AD server that it authenticates against (presenting the F5 login page). In my environment at least, this appears to happen over kereberos.

     

    The user then authenticates against the SharePoint server-this is where NTLM enters the picture.

     

    Do I have this about right?

     

  • yes, that is about it. once you login on the APM it stores your credentials and can use those to authorize you at other sites like Share Point. if you ever plan on adding for example outlook web access or such you can use the same system. login once on the APM and then access multiple other sites, called single sign on (SSO).
