Attention! For Bitrix24 On-Premise and Bitrix Site Manager - AD/LDAP integration module version 11.5.0 and higher is required to support NTLM-authorization tool.
After enabling and configuration, new NTLM-authorization mechanism starts to work as follows:
- Unauthorized visitor joins the project, to be redirected by event processor to an open Apache port (8890 for HTTP or 8891 for HTTPS);
- Apache completes NTLM-authorization and the user is redirected back to port 80 or port 443 (for HTTP and HTTPS, accordingly);
- The user performs the next hits normally.
The following is an example of Bitrix24 On-Premise settings.

Bitrix24 product is ready to use of NTLM-authorization. Next and final step: configure Virtual Appliance.
Note! If the company's local network requires a configured NTLM-authorization and employees need to work with the portal via standard authorization, then it is necessary to indicate the IP-addresses range for which the NTLM-authorization is required in the AD/LDAP module settings -
Restrict NTLM redirection to this subnet (for example, 192.168.0.1/24):

Configuration of NTLM-authrization in browsers
- Internet Explorer
Make sure NTLM authorization is successful, the web server must be located in the Local Intranet zone (if necessary, it must be added there).
