Description Alessandro Lazarotti CLA 2017-02-08 13:43:55 EST 
NTLM is the default protocol for Microsoft TFS and the most used.
jGit does not support it yet, what makes hard its integration with MS TFS.

This ticket is to request/track support for NTLM in jGit.

The official NTLM documentation from Microsoft says in section 5.1:

  "Therefore, applications are generally advised not to use NTLM."[1]

While it might be true that the use of NTML is discouraged, there's not much you can do if you *have* to deal with legacy servers. Thus, support in JGit would also be appreciated from my side.
