All Known Implementing Classes:

AuthenticationComponentImpl, ChainingAuthenticationComponentImpl, NTLMAuthenticationComponentImpl, SimpleAcceptOrRejectAllAuthenticationComponentImpl

public interface NLTMAuthenticator

An specialized AuthenticationComponent that is capable of handling NTLM authentication directly, either by 'passing through' to a domain server or by validating an MD4 hashed password. Unlike other authentication methods, these operations cannot be chained and must be handled by a specific authentication component.
