If the client chooses to send an LmChallengeResponse to the server, the fields are set to the following values:

§ LmChallengeResponseLen (2 bytes): A 16-bit unsigned integer that defines the size, in bytes, of LmChallengeResponse in Payload.

Otherwise, if the client chooses not to send a UserName to the server, the fields take the following values:

  • UserNameLen and UserNameMaxLen MUST be set to zero on transmission.

  • UserNameBufferOffset field SHOULD be set to the offset from the beginning of the AUTHENTICATE_MESSAGE to where the UserName would be in Payload if it were present.

EncryptedRandomSessionKeyLen

EncryptedRandomSessionKeyMaxLen

EncryptedRandomSessionKeyBufferOffset

If the NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_KEY_EXCH flag is set in NegotiateFlags, indicating that an EncryptedRandomSessionKey is supplied, the fields are set to the following values:

§ EncryptedRandomSessionKeyLen (2 bytes): A 16-bit unsigned integer that defines the size, in bytes, of EncryptedRandomSessionKey in Payload.

§ EncryptedRandomSessionKeyMaxLen (2 bytes): A 16-bit unsigned integer that SHOULD be set to the value of EncryptedRandomSessionKeyLen and MUST be ignored on receipt.

§ EncryptedRandomSessionKeyBufferOffset (4 bytes): A 32-bit unsigned integer that defines the offset, in bytes, from the beginning of the AUTHENTICATE_MESSAGE to EncryptedRandomSessionKey in Payload.

Otherwise, if the NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_KEY_EXCH flag is not set in NegotiateFlags, indicating that an EncryptedRandomSessionKey is not supplied, the fields take the following values, and must be ignored upon receipt:

  • EncryptedRandomSessionKeyLen and EncryptedRandomSessionKeyMaxLen SHOULD be set to zero on transmission.

  • EncryptedRandomSessionKeyBufferOffset field SHOULD be set to the offset from the beginning of the AUTHENTICATE_MESSAGE to where the EncryptedRandomSessionKey would be in Payload if it was present.

NegotiateFlags (4 bytes): In connectionless mode, a NEGOTIATE structure that contains a set of flags (section 2.2.2.5) and represents the conclusion of negotiation—the choices the client has made from the options the server offered in the CHALLENGE_MESSAGE. In connection-oriented mode, a NEGOTIATE structure (section 2.2.2.5) that contains the set of bit flags negotiated in the previous messages.

Version (8 bytes): A VERSION structure (section 2.2.2.10) that SHOULD be populated only when the NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_VERSION flag is set in the NegotiateFlags field; otherwise, it MUST be set to all zero. This structure is used for debugging purposes only. In normal protocol messages, it is ignored and does not affect the NTLM message processing.<11>

MIC (16 bytes): The message integrity for the NTLM NEGOTIATE_MESSAGE, CHALLENGE_MESSAGE, and AUTHENTICATE_MESSAGE.<12>

Payload (variable): A byte array that contains the data referred to by the LmChallengeResponseBufferOffset, NtChallengeResponseBufferOffset, DomainNameBufferOffset, UserNameBufferOffset, WorkstationBufferOffset, and EncryptedRandomSessionKeyBufferOffset message fields. Payload data can be present in any order within the Payload field, with variable-length padding before or after the data. The data that can be present in the Payload field of this message, in no particular order, are:

...

LmChallengeResponse (variable): An LM_RESPONSE structure (section 2.2.2.3) or an LMv2_RESPONSE structure (section 2.2.2.4) that contains the computed LM response to the challenge. If NTLM v2 authentication is configured, then LmChallengeResponse MUST be an LMv2_RESPONSE structure. Otherwise, it MUST be an LM_RESPONSE structure.

NtChallengeResponse (variable): An NTLM_RESPONSE structure (section 2.2.2.6) or NTLMv2_RESPONSE structure (section 2.2.2.8) that contains the computed NT response to the challenge. If NTLM v2 authentication is configured, NtChallengeResponse MUST be an NTLMv2_RESPONSE. Otherwise, it MUST be an NTLM_RESPONSE.

DomainName (variable): The domain or computer name hosting the user account. DomainName MUST be encoded in the negotiated character set.

UserName (variable): The name of the user to be authenticated. UserName MUST be encoded in the negotiated character set.

Workstation (variable): The name of the computer to which the user is logged on. Workstation MUST be encoded in the negotiated character set.

EncryptedRandomSessionKey (variable):  The client's encrypted random session key. EncryptedRandomSessionKey and its usage are defined in sections 3.1.5 and 3.2.5.
