`webroot\.htaccess`:
```aconf

AuthName "Example App"
AuthType SSPI
NTLMAuth On
NTLMAuthoritative On
NTLMDomain exampledomain
NTLMOmitDomain Off # keep domain name in userid string
NTLMOfferBasic On # let non-IE clients authenticate
NTLMBasicPreferred Off # should basic authentication have higher priority
NTLMUsernameCase lower
Require valid-user

AuthType None
Require all granted

#Order allow,deny
#Allow from 192.168.0.0/16
Satisfy all
```

### NTLMAuthenticator

NTLM Authenticator can query through LDAP for user membership. This information is stored in the session and can be used for authorization (ACL).

```php
$service->loadAuthenticator(NTLMAuthenticator::class, [
'domains' => [
'exampledomain' => [
'ldap' => [
'srv' => 'active-directory.example.com',
'user' => base64_encode('[email protected]'),
'pass' => base64_encode('UserPassword'),
'dn' => 'OU=Departaments, DC=example, DC=com',
'dn_users' => 'CN=Users, DC=example, DC=com',
],
'config' => [
'some_key' => 'some_data',
],
],
'exampledomain2' => [
'ldap' => [
'srv' => 'active-directory.example2.com',
'user' => base64_encode('[email protected]'),
'pass' => base64_encode('UserPassword2'),
'dn' => 'OU=Departaments, DC=example2, DC=com',
'dn_users' => 'CN=Users, DC=example2, DC=com',
],
'config' => [
'some_key' => 'some_data',
],
],
],
]);
```
The configured credentials should have query-only access to the LDAP service and no other privileges within the domain.

`config` array is optional data can be stored in session auth data.
It allows configuring the logo of the organization and other data common to the users of a domain that the application needs to use.

The application does not have any access to validated user passwords, all NTLM authentication is negotiated between the Apache server and the browser.
