As I wrote in my pre­vi­ous post on the sub­ject I was try­ing to get MSN Mes­sen­ger work­ing from my Mac­Book Pro with our com­pany ISA proxy server.

The main issue here is that our com­pany requires NTLM V2 authen­ti­ca­tion on the ISA proxy.

After another round of inves­ti­ga­tions I was finally able to get it working.

I found cntlm, and it works as a charm.

I com­piled it and set it up in a few min­utes and since then I had no prob­lem at all with all of my ser­vices that need to go through our ISA proxy server.

My machine is actu­ally run­ning Tiger Ver­sion 10.4.11 and the appli­ca­tion com­piled with no prob­lems except a cou­ple of warn­ings I will inves­ti­gate when I will have some spare time.

I slightly changed the con­fig­ure script chang­ing this line:

CCS=“xlc_r gcc”

in

CCS=“gcc”

The proxy is run­ning fine from a cou­ple of days and its per­for­mance is very good.

Def­i­nitely some­thing you should try if you have the very same issue.

P.S. I know this is a lit­tle bit off track but I still receive a lot of requests on the sub­jects. I hope this helps.
