How to fill in proxy information in cntlm config file?

Update your user, domain, and proxy information in cntlm.ini, then test your proxy with this command (run in your Cntlm installation folder):

cntlm -c cntlm.ini -I -M http://google.ro

It will ask for your password, and hopefully print your required authentication information, which must be saved in your cntlm.ini

Sample cntlm.ini:

Username            user
Domain              domain

# provide actual value if autodetection fails
# Workstation         pc-name

Proxy               my_proxy_server.com:80
NoProxy             127.0.0.*, 192.168.*

Listen              127.0.0.1:54321
Listen              192.168.1.42:8080
Gateway             no

SOCKS5Proxy         5000
# provide socks auth info if you want it
# SOCKS5User          socks-user:socks-password

# printed authentication info from the previous step
Auth            NTLMv2
PassNTLMv2      98D6986BCFA9886E41698C1686B58A09

Note: on linux the config file is cntlm.conf

The solution takes two steps!

First, complete the user, domain, and proxy fields in cntlm.ini. The username and domain should probably be whatever you use to log in to Windows at your office, eg.

Username            employee1730
Domain              corporate
Proxy               proxy.infosys.corp:8080

Then test cntlm with a command such as

cntlm.exe -c cntlm.ini -I -M http://www.bbc.co.uk

It will ask for your password (again whatever you use to log in to Windows_). Hopefully it will print 'http 200 ok' somewhere, and print your some cryptic tokens authentication information. Now add these to cntlm.ini, eg:

Auth            NTLM
PassNT          A2A7104B1CE00000000000000007E1E1
PassLM          C66000000000000000000000008060C8

Finally, set the http_proxy environment variable in Windows (assuming you didn't change with the Listen field which by default is set to 3128) to the following

http://localhost:3128

Without any configuration, you can simply issue the following command (modifying myusername and mydomain with your own information):

cntlm -u myusername -d mydomain -H

or

cntlm -u myusername@mydomain -H

It will ask you the password of myusername and will give you the following output:

PassLM          1AD35398BE6565DDB5C4EF70C0593492
PassNT          77B9081511704EE852F94227CF48A793
PassNTLMv2      A8FC9092D566461E6BEA971931EF1AEC    # Only for user 'myusername', domain 'mydomain'

Then create the file cntlm.ini (or cntlm.conf on Linux using default path) with the following content (replacing your myusername, mydomain and A8FC9092D566461E6BEA971931EF1AEC with your information and the result of the previous command):

Username    myusername
Domain      mydomain

Proxy       my_proxy_server.com:80
NoProxy     127.0.0.*, 192.168.*

Listen      127.0.0.1:5865
Gateway     yes

SOCKS5Proxy 5866

Auth        NTLMv2
PassNTLMv2  A8FC9092D566461E6BEA971931EF1AEC

Then you will have a local open proxy on local port 5865 and another one understanding SOCKS5 protocol at local port 5866.
