Authenticating OData using Curl for Dynamics Nav

I'm trying to use Curl to pull some data from Microsoft Dynamics Nav.

I can easily access it through my browser at this url: http://kevans:(password)@192.168.0.30:8048/Sandbox/OData/ and it works perfectly fine.

In Curl, I tried this: curl --ntlm -u kevans "http://192.168.0.30:8048/Sandbox/OData/" -v, type in my password at the prompt, but it returns a 401 Unauthorized error.

Is there something that needs to be done to make it available to Curl?

Here's the output of Curl:

curl --ntlm -u kevans "http://192.168.0.30:8048/Sandbox/OData/" -v
Enter host password for user 'kevans':
* About to connect() to 192.168.0.30 port 8048 (#0)

I was having the same problem, but ended up with a different solution. I'm just putting mine here in case anyone is still having issues with this.

  1. Open the Microsoft Dynamics Nav Server MMC Tool
  2. Select the NAV Instance in question
  3. Click the Edit button on the bottom right to edit the instance
  4. Check/Enable the checkbox for "Use NTLM Authentication"
  5. Save the changes you made
  6. Restart the instance of NAV

After making these changes, the CURL HTTP Response header "WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate" should now be "WWW-Authenticate: NTLM" and your curl request should match the following:

curl -v --ntlm -u 'username:password' "http://YOUR_NAV_URL:8048/NAV_INSTANCE_NAME/OData/"

I updated Curl from 7.33 to 7.40 and it works fine now. I'm using the EXACT SAME COMMAND and it works without issue. The domain is completely optional and doesn't seem to affect it.
