 Priority:  normal       |   Milestone:                      
Component:  webdav       |     Version:  3.0.3               
 Severity:  normal       |    Keywords:  Authentication, NTLM

 To use Cyberduck with Microsoft Sharepoint Services it should support NTLM
 authentication. To support only BASIC authentication, if the server
 requires NTLM, is not enough.

 Also the error message simply saying "login failed" is not user friendly,
 because this gives no idea to the user, why it fails. The reason, why it
 fails is simple and can be detected easily by the software. The
 authentication method requested by the server using the WWW-Authenticate
 HTTP header is not in the list of implememnted authentication methods, so
 the error message in such a case should not simply say "Login failed" but
 should say the reason why it failed: Could not negotiate authentication
 method.

 I used wireshark to see, why it failed. What I see is: Cyberduck tries
 BASIC but the server wants NTLM.
