Description
Basic and Digest are the two IETF endorsed authentication mechanisms
for HTTP. However, in Microsoft (IIS) based environments two additional
schemes are in common use, and are commonly requested for Java.
These are "NTLM" aka Challenge/Response and "Negotiate" which
is a scheme that can use Kerberos or else fallback to the NTLM protocol.

This requirement is frequently requested by plugin and webstart.

[Note. this report is tracking NTLM only. A new report will be opened for
Kerberos]
