Tracing NTLM (via: 407 Authentication required – no challenge sent – Stack Overflow)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/08/26

Might need this one day:

I wrote a utility to decode the NTLM blobs that were sent in the IE and HttpWebRequest sessions.When I look at the HttpWebRequest and IE, they both request 56bit and 128bit encryption from the server.

…

In both IE/HttpWebRequest, they are requesting both 64 & 128bit security. However, for windows 7, 128bit security for NTLM has been made the default, and without that, authentication will fail. As you can see from the server response, the server is only supporting 64bit encryption.

Some notes on Word automation and protected documents

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/08/26

Though I’ve done this automation in Delphi, this applies to automation from any development platform. In this particular project, I had to update Word documents. That is fine, unless your documents are protected. You can find out if a document is protected by probing the ProtectionType property of a Document object.

If a document is protected, and you try to change something you should not, you get an error message like this:

This method or property is not available because the document is a protected document.

If you have control of the documents or templates involved, then you can take the recommended steps from Document Handling with protected Microsoft Office Word Template:

Microsoft Office Word offers the possibility to enable document protection only to certain sections of a document. So you can place Bookmarks used by Dynamics AX in a section that is kept unprotected and the Form Controls in a section where Document Protection is enabled.

If you don’t, then you have to check for protection, unprotect, do the modifications, then re-protect the document. Read the rest of this entry »
