PHP NTLM
========

[](#php-ntlm)

The PHP NTLM library (php-ntlm) is intended to provide various methods to aid in communicating with Microsoft services that utilize NTLM authentication from within PHP.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### SoapClient

[](#soapclient)

The `\jamesiarmes\PhpNtlm\SoapClient` class extends PHP's built in `SoapClient`class and can be used in the same manner with a few minor changes.

1. The constructor accepts a required 'user' and 'password' index in the `$options` array.
2. The constructor accepts an optional 'curlopts' index in the `$options` array that can be used to set or override the default curl options.

Basic example:

```
$client = new SoapClient(
    $wsdl,
    array('user' => 'username', 'password' => '12345')
);
```

Example that skips SSL certificate validation:

```
$client = new SoapClient(
    $wsdl,
    array(
        'user' => 'username',
        'password' => '12345',
        'curlopts' => array(CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false),
    )
);
```

#### Available options

[](#available-options)

The basic options available on the constructor can be found at . The trace option is not necessary, as the last request and response methods will always be available. In addition to these options, the following additional options are available:

- user (string, required): The user to authenticate with.
- password (string, required): The password to use when authenticating the user.
- curlopts (array): Array of options to set on the curl handler when making the request. This can be used to override any cURL options with the exception of the following: CURLOPT\_HEADER, CURLOPT\_POST, CURLOPT\_POSTFIELDS.
- strip\_bad\_chars (boolean, default: true): Whether or not to strip invalid characters from the XML response. This can lead to content being returned differently than it actually is on the host service, but can also prevent the "looks like we got no XML document" SoapFault when the response includes invalid characters.
- warn\_on\_bad\_chars (boolean, default: false): Trigger a warning if bad characters are stripped. This has no affect unless strip\_bad\_chars is true.
