Request support for NTLMv2

[cdcox87]

Feature Request

Request MSSQL input plugin support NTLMv2 for authentication.

Current behavior:

Currently it appears that the plugin for gathering Microsoft SQL metrics only supports NTLMv1 and Kerberos.

Desired behavior:

Support NTLMv2

Use case: [Why is this important (helps with prioritizing requests)]

More and more businesses are dropping NTLMv1 due to security vulnerabilities. Logging in via Kerberos may not always be possible and NTLMv2 would be used. This is specifically a use case for logging in using the credentials in a service account and not putting them in the configuration file.

@vlastahajek Correct me if I'm wrong, still a little fuzzy on Windows authentication methods, this is supported now by your latest patch to go-mssqldb?

[vlastahajek]

@danielnelson, my patch didn't add any new authentication method. The issue was in wrong handshake of authentication messages, not in unsupported authentication method.
However, If needed I can look at this as well, I saw similar requests in go-mssqldb repo.

@cdcox87 are you still interested in seeing this feature implemented?
