enabling ntlm authentication with firefox

yet another miscellaneous post.  i had no idea it was even possible until a friend sent me some instructions.  it’s quite simple.  here’s the run down:

  • in the address bar, type about:config.  hit enter and swear your life away that you are legitimately smart enough not to break anything.

  • in the filter bar, type network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris.

  • double-click the result.  a dialog box will prompt you for a string value.
  • enter your ntlm domain with a preceeding dot.

  • click ok.
  • you’re done!  no restart required!

 

thanks for the heads up trent.
