Can you clarify the syntax for user credentials under the different types of authentication?

Configure NTLM authentication by selecting the flag and specifying domain in NTLM Domain field without slashes. Enter credentials the same way on Linux as on Windows, without domain prefixes in usernames.

Question

Can you clarify the syntax for user credentials under the different types of authentication? There are some different scenarios whether you are using Basic Authentication or NTLM Authentication. Apparently, there are sub-options such as Anonymous that must be set. I know that there is a separate domain field for NTLM, but I don't think that field is used for Basic settings. It seems like you should put the domain in the NTLM Domain field if you're using NTLM, but you should prefix the Username field if you're not using NTLM. Also, should you use one forward slash or one backslash (if using UNIX and different handling) or double slashes to accommodate literals? How does the operating system play into this? Or are the values simply used in the code somewhere?

Answer

If you use NTLM authentication, select the NTLM Authentication? flag and specify the domain in the NTLM Domain field. For Windows, there is no need for slashes, either forward slashes or backslashes. The prefix is not required when referring to the domain, such as company/marysmith. However, if you use Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities on Linux, enter the slashes in the same way that you would enter them in Windows.
