hello,
I have extended exim's SPA ("Secure Password Authentication" - really
NTLM) authenticator to support exim as the server.
The patch is here:
http://duncanthrax.net/temp/exim-4.10-spa-server-auth.patch
Files changed are:
src/auths/spa.c
src/auths/spa.h
src/auths/get_data.c
src/auths/auth_spa.c
USAGE:
A new option for the spa authenticator is introduced
(spa_serverpassword). It can contain an expression to
find the cleartext password for the client. $1 is filled
in with the username passed by the client.
EXAMPLE:
Put this in your authenticators section in the exim
config file:
spa:
driver = spa
public_name = NTLM
server_password = ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/exim/spa_clearpass}}
The file /etc/exim/spa_clearpass should then look like this:
username1:password1
username2:password2
...
You can use other lookup methods as well, of course.
I tested this with Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP. Please give me some
feedback if you try the patch.
Philip: I CCed you in case you want to include this in exim
at some point.
regards,
/tom
