single sign-on.

NTLMv2 is the default authentication method used by Windows to log into servers.
For Kerberos and NTLMv2 Authentication you must also configure the Date&Time settings or
the SNTP protocol (network time server).
You can configure the Date&Time and the SNTP settings using Web Based Management.
You can also configure the Date&Time settings from the machine's control panel.

server is not detected, NTLMv2 will be used for the authentication method.
