NTLM Authentication to connect to SQL Server

Our quarkus version is 2.7.2.Final and mssql version is 4.2.4 (using the vertx-mssql-client-4.2.4 jar)

NTLM authentication applies for jdbc drivers only, and our entire application is built on top of Quarkus Reactive. Going back to JDBC based implementation is another 6 months project, and we have already completed UAT. Going back is not possible. Is there anyway we can get this working?

All our clients are undergoing security audits and pressing on windows authentication feature for App Server to DB connection. Sooner or later, all the projects implementing Quarkus Reactive is going to take a hit, if implementing in banking projects.

So we would request you to provide for a configuration supporting windows authentication or guide us with any work around which could provide with the same result.
