 * @brief NTLM Authentication - REMOVED
 *
 * NTLM support has been completely removed from Axis2/C due to security vulnerabilities.
 * This header is retained only for API compatibility - attempting to use NTLM functions
 * will result in compilation or runtime errors.
 *
 * NTLM vulnerabilities include:
 * - Pass-the-hash attacks
 * - Relay attacks
 * - Weak cryptography (MD4/DES based)
 *
 * Microsoft is deprecating NTLM:
 * https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windows-itpro-blog/the-evolution-of-windows-authentication/4478637
 *
 * Recommended alternatives:
 * - Kerberos (for Windows domain environments)
 * - OAuth 2.0 (for modern authentication)
 * - mTLS (mutual TLS for certificate-based authentication)
