Implement Kerberos or NTLM authentication when connecting to Proxy server in Download Tool

When we try to call external web site from Alteryx Designer Download tool, our company proxy server failed the authentication because Alteryx uses the basic login/password authentication.  This has happened to multiple applications that need to interact with external partners.  Will like to request an enhancement to enable Alteryx to authenticate using Kerberos or NTLM.

The support for NTLM and Kerberos proxy auth was implemented in Designer 24.2. Although it's not applicable for each and every connector, Download tool is one of those capable of leveraging this feature.
