NAME

       Authen::Smb - Perl extension to authenticate against an SMB server

SYNOPSIS

         use Authen::Smb;
         my $authResult = Authen::Smb::authen('myUser',
                                              'myPassword',
                                              'myPDC',
                                              'myBDC',
                                              'myNTDomain');

         if ( $authResult == Authen::Smb::NO_ERROR ) {
           print "User successfully authenticated.\n";
         } else {
           print "User not authenticated with error level $authResult\n";
         }

DESCRIPTION

       Authen::Smb allows you to authenticate a user against an NT domain.  You can specify both a primary and a
       backup server to use for authentication.  The NT names of the machines should be used for specifying
       servers.

       An authentication request will return one of four values:

       NTV_NO_ERROR (0) NTV_SERVER_ERROR (1) NTV_PROTOCOL_ERROR (2) NTV_LOGON_ERROR (3)

       NTV_NO_ERROR is the only return value possible for a successful authentication.  All other return values
       indicate failure, of one sort or another.

EXPORT_OK constants

         NTV_LOGON_ERROR
         NTV_NO_ERROR
         NTV_PROTOCOL_ERROR
         NTV_SERVER_ERROR
