Summary: SSPI and system account

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I've written a script to download some files via http
using curl and using sspi for authentication. This
works great as long as it is run under the security
context of a user.

However, when run under the system account context
(i.e. a group policy startup script), it no longer
seems authenticate properly.

Here is an excerpt from the IIS log.

curl --ntlm -u : <url> (run under user context)

Run under system account context with scripted Internet
Explorer or winhttp 5.1

Good to hear you managed to work around it. I've added this
bug as "known bug #26" (see docs/KNOWN_BUGS) and thus I
close this report.

Thanks for getting back to me. We've changed our project to
use the user context so no big deal.

Wish I could help, but I'm not quite there yet. Good luck!

Okey, but I don't know one bit about how those things are
done as I'm not developing on windows myself. A call on the
libcurl mailing list gave nothing.

Don't expect this to be changed anytime soon unless you can
help out!

Sorry for the delay getting back to you.

I believe it should use the active directory domain computer
account.

The DOMAIN\RTTESTSYSTEM$ user that is used by
Internet Explorer in the same context is the computer
account in active directory for the system I was testing on.

So what is it supposed to do under "system context" ? I
thought the point would be that it gets the user + password
from the current user, and if there's no user what should it
do/use ?
