Correct. These directives only make sense if challenge reuses is
allowed.

2 helpers with a single client is a low helper envionment.

You need 1 helper per concurrent new TCP connection, and all browsers
I know of opens at least 2 connections, sometimes a lot more..

Ok, now I'm running 5 helpers, but the problem is still here:


After 2 - 3 minutes of web navigation, two consecutive KK to the same helper, the helper report the fails to squid with BH after the second KK and the browser pop-ups for authentication.

The client is an IE 6 SP1 on Windows NT 4.

auth_param ntlm max_challenge_reuses is still set to 0

Looking on cachemgr, NTLM authenticator statistics says that only 3 helpers was used, the remaining 2 are alive and never used.

This seems to me very strange.

Guido
