This I tested before my previous response, and Squid happily processes very long passwords as long as the total is less than 63 characers. This was tested with the ncsa_auth helper from Squid-3 which supports MD5 hashes of arbitraty length passwords, and it successfully authenticated a user with a more than 50 characters long password. Just tested again to make sure I did not do anything wrong, and it still works. In case of ntlm authentication Squid is not even involved in the length of the password. In ntlm authentication the length of the password is a business between the browser and the domain controller in how the password is hashed. The data processed by Squid is independent on the password length in case of ntlm authenticaiton. -- Donations welcome if you consider my Free Squid support helpful. https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=hno%40squid-cache.org If you need commercial Squid support or cost effective Squid or firewall appliances please refer to MARA Systems AB, Sweden http://www.marasystems.com/, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
