Captive Portal NTLM Authentication IPv6

Hi,

we try to get the NTLM Authentication for the clientless captive portal working.
For IPv4 it runs pretty well. So if we goto a website with only IPv4 enabled no authentication page is presented and the user is logged in via NTLM.

But if we open a IPv6 site, for example www.google.com we get the captive portal login page.
When entering the credentials everything works as expected and the IPv6 Adress is shown in Liveusers.

But it seems NTLM is not working.

So why ? :)

  • Hi,

    thanks for the reply.
    We disabled IPv6 random address to identify the source host.
    After we have done the following dumps:

    IPv4 (x.x.x.x replaced by the real IPv4 address
    tcpdump -s0 'host x.x.x.x' -b -w /tmp/data/tcpdump1.pcap

    IPv6
    tcpdump -s0 'host x:x:x:x:38e2:850f:5bb0:588' -b -w /tmp/data/tcpdump3.pcap

    We search in Wireshark with filter http and find the following fpr IPv4

    So everything works and seems correct

    For IPv6 we can not see any NTLM

  • NTLM does not support IPv6 in V17.5. 

    At this point, i thought, you mean by opening any site, which supports IPv6, NTLM did not work at all. But you are working with IPv6 adresses in your network. 

     Correct me, if i am wrong. 

  • Thanks for the fast reply.

    i don't understand why Sophos XG is missing so much features in the IPv6 environment.
    No FQDN objects, no WAF for IPv6, no PPPoE support for PD IPv6 and now no ntlm support.

    IPv6 is not new an we have a growing number of customers using IPv6.
    Other vendors have full IPv6 support since years.
    So i do not understand "the next generation thing"
