Why was the authentication NTLM and not Kerberos?
The main difference between NTLM and Kerberos is in how the two protocols manage authentication. NTLM relies on a three-way handshake between the client and server to authenticate a user. Kerberos uses a two-part process that leverages a ticket granting service or key distribution center.
How do you find out if Active Directory is using Kerberos or NTLM?
If you’re using Kerberos, then you’ll see the activity in the event log. If you are passing your credentials and you don’t see any Kerberos activity in the event log, then you’re using NTLM.
Is NTLM enabled by default?
Robin connects to your Exchange server using Microsoft’s proprietary authentication protocol, “NTLM”. Most modern Windows Servers will already have NTLM enabled by default. Office 365 does not support NTLM authentication, so Office 365 admins should use our integrated OAuth app instead.
What does NTLM stand for?

Is NTLM secure?
NTLM is a proprietary secure authentication protocol from Microsoft. The NTLM protocol allows Robin to connect to an external Exchange host without transmitting a user’s password. It also allows Robin to store Exchange credentials in a one-way encrypted fashion (called “hashing”), so that a user’s Exchange password is never stored in raw plain-text.
What is Kerberos and how does it work?
Kerberos ( /ˈkɜːrbərɒs/) is a computer-network authentication protocol that works on the basis of tickets to allow nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure manner. The protocol was named after the character Kerberos (or Cerberus ) from Greek mythology ,…
Where is Kerberos used?
Kerberos is used heavily on secure systems which require solid auditing and authentication features. Its used in Posix authentication, as an alternative authentication system for ssh, POP and SMTP, in Active Directory, NFS, Samba, and quite a few other similar projects.
