OpenVPN 2.8.
-NTLMv1 support has been removed because it is completely insecure.
- NTLMv2 support is still available, but will removed in a future release.
+NTLMv1 authentication support for HTTP proxies has been removed.
+ This is considered an insecure method of authentication that uses
+ obsolete crypto algorithms.
+ NTLMv2 support is still available, but will be removed in a future
+ release.
+ When configured to authenticate with NTLMv1 (``ntlm`` keyword in
+ ``--http-proxy``) OpenVPN will try NTLMv2 instead.

Attention is currently required from: plaisthos. Hello plaisthos, I'd like you to do a code review. Please visit http://gerrit.openvpn.net/c/openvpn/+/500?usp=email to review the following change. Change subject: NTLM: when NTLMv1 is requested, try NTLMv2 instead ...................................................................... NTLM: when NTLMv1 is requested, try NTLMv2 instead Commit 21910ebc2ee8a6138eb2af8d38056d2b94e59f9c removed support for NTLMv1 authentication. This adjusts the behavior for existing configurations that specify "ntlm" keyword. Do not error out hard, instead just try to upgrade. This should work fine in many cases and will avoid breaking user configs unnecessarily on upgrade. In addition it fixes an issue with the mentioned patch where "auto" wasn't working correctly for NTLM anymore.
