node.js HTTP request with automatic ntlm / kerberos authentication

Question

Looking through npm all ntlm / kerberos modules seem to want a hard coded username and password when performing HTTP requests against a windows authenticated endpoint.

Is it possible to use the credentials of the currently logged in user?

e.g. In PowerShell I can do this:

$wc = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$wc.UseDefaultCredentials = $true

Would this be at all possible with node?

Answer 1

NTLM and Kerberos authentication are possible with node-expose-sspi.
