#15 Failed authentication when use password with special char

[Anonymous]

When I use a password with special caracters (for
example ! ; ) in the server.cfg file the authentication
failed.
I need to use this type of password for some policy..
There's a solution possible for pass the authentication
in sylent mode when my password use special chars?

Thank's

Yes, this is the subject of some long running queries.
Basically, you need to configure ntlmaps to use full NTLM
authentication, not just LM. Microsoft's LM protocol
doesn't support basically anything except a small subset of
ASCII and remaps other chars according to a lookup table.
See server.cfg for instructions for turning on full NTLM. I
will close this one for now, if you still run into more
trouble please re-open this ticket with full debug trace
logs etc.
