Cntlm is an NTLM / NTLM Session Response / NTLMv2 authenticating HTTP proxy intended to help you break free from the chains of Microsoft proprietary world.

I have my proxy URL in the following format:

http://user:passwords@my_proxy_server.com:80

And I have to provide this information to cntlm. Its config file cntlm.ini has following structure and parameters:

Username 
Domain
Password    
Proxy

I am not sure, how to break up my original proxy property to fill these four options?

Update your user, domain, and proxy information in cntlm.ini, then test your proxy with this command (run in your Cntlm installation folder):

cntlm -c cntlm.ini -I -M http://google.ro

It will ask for your password, and hopefully print your required authentication information, which must be saved in your cntlm.ini

Sample cntlm.ini:

Username            user
Domain              domain

# provide actual value if autodetection fails
# Workstation         pc-name

Proxy               my_proxy_server.com:80
NoProxy             127.0.0.*, 192.168.*

Listen              127.0.0.1:54321
Listen              192.168.1.42:8080
Gateway             no

SOCKS5Proxy         5000
# provide socks auth info if you want it
# SOCKS5User          socks-user:socks-password

# printed authentication info from the previous step
Auth            NTLMv2
PassNTLMv2      98D6986BCFA9886E41698C1686B58A09

Note: on linux the config file is cntlm.conf
