Does IIS use NTLM?

IIS web servers commonly use Kerberos (Negotiate) with fallback to NTLM for authenticating domain users to a website. A client that sends a GET request to a web server that is configured with Windows Authentication will receive a 401 Unauthorized response, specifying two authentication choices; Negotiate or NTLM.

How does IIS NTLM authentication work?

Authentication: The client generates and hashes a response and sends it to the IIS server. The server receives the challenge-hashed response and compares it to what it knows to be the appropriate response. If the received response matches the expected response, the user is successfully authenticated to the server.

How can I check if my IIS site is using NTLM or Kerberos?

One is via the WWW-Authenticate method “NTLM”; the other is via Negotiate. Negotiate uses GSSAPI, which in turn can use various mechanisms; on Windows, this includes both Kerberos and NTLM. Wireshark can decode all of this and show you quickly what’s going on, assuming you’re not using TLS.
