Include 'NTLM' as an authentication method in DataStage Hierarchical stage

We have an important project that needs to source the data from the SharePoint page. The default authentication method in our SharePoint farm is 'NTLM' which is not supported by Hierarchical stage. It's impossible to enable the other method on our side as any change would affect the entire farm..

Implementing this feature would allow more ways for the connection.

    Thank you for proposing this idea as an enhancement for our connectors.

    To investigate further the feasibility of this, we would need more details on the way you are currently connecting to Sharepoint. Are you using REST endpoints?

    Thanks for any details you can provide, that would ease our investigation.
