What is NTLM authentication?
Windows New Technology LAN Manager (NTLM) is an authentication protocol used for Windows authentication with systems configured as members of workgroups. NTLM applies to web application authentication when the organization uses a domain controller for user domain and identity management. A domain controller is a server running a Windows Server operating system version with Active Directory Domain Services installed.
To learn more about domain controllers and NTLM, you can refer to Microsoft documentation: Domain Controller Roles and Microsoft NTLM.
