Hello!!
I'm trying to implement NTLM authentication on IIS (Windows Server 2003) from Windows 7 with python. LAN Manager Authentication Level: Send NTLM response only. 
Client machine and server are in the same domain.
Domain controller (AD) is on another server (also running Windows Server 2003).
I recieve 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
Could you please help me find out what is wrong with this code and/or show me the other possible directions to solve this problem (using NTLM or Kerberos)?
