Replacing nusoap and curl using NTLM auth for sugar 12.0.3

Hi Stijn Vermeulen,

Yes, we did remove Nusoap and advise everyone against using it. I'm assuming your NTLM auth is a custom code you need to rewrite for 13.0 is that correct? I would advise you to look into our native LDAP integration, if you are in SugarCloud, we have a few more options with SugarIdentity. If you need really need to rewrite your code, you could look into PHP's native SoapClient (I don't believe we have a Sugarcrm\SoapClient we support at this point).

You can create a client like:

$this->client = new \SoapClient(<your soap server> . '?wsdl', $params);

For cURL, you have to replace it with ExternalResourceClient.

Hi Rafael Fernandes,

Thank you for your reply!

"I'm assuming your NTLM auth is a custom code you need to rewrite for 13.0 is that correct"

- That is correct. Changes in Sugar are syncing data to other backed systems.

"I would advise you to look into our native LDAP integration"

- It is an on-premise environment, I will discus this option with the system administrator. Would it also be possible to use this LDAP integration in our code to connect to their backend?

"you could look into PHP's native SoapClient"

- All the sample code I could find on implementing NTLM in PHP relies on cURL. Which is discouraged. Or am I missing something?

"For cURL, you have to replace it with ExternalResourceClient.".

- The ExternalResourceClient does not support NTLM, or am I missing something?

Stijn

Hi Rafael Fernandes

I have discussed this with our admins, but we are not entirely sure how the LDAP integration would work. As far as we are aware, LDAP might work for incoming requests, but not for outgoing requests, right?

According to the system admin their server also supports Kerberos authentication, but I think this is also not supported by the ExternalResourceClient and requires me to use cURL for my requests?
