Hi All, I've got a beautifully working squid server with NTLM then BASIC auth so windows automatically authenticates and Linux can use basic auth.
basically it's <squid-2.5.STABLE3.tar.gz> compiled with ntlm,basic support. 2 questions: 1. We have a number of users that use Adobe Web Capture to PDF file. with basic auth only turned on it prompts for a password like it should. with NTLM and then basic turned on (which works for everything else), it says failed to authenticate. i gather it's trying to use NTLM and failing. Linux machines work fine because they use the basic auth. According to http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-10.html i can use a regex for what the browser sends in the header or something. IE sends 'Mozzilla' but i've no idea what Adobe sends or if it even sends something different. (here's hoping it does). can someone help out with that one? 2. has anybody noticed with the latest build with NTLM that some browsers just go to sleep for a while and after about 2 mins squid comes back and says dest server not available or something. client i noticed it on was XP with all the latest updates. here's my conf file: --------auth_param #CHANGING TO THIS TESTING <sigh> disabling for a tick #auth_param ntlm program /usr/lib/squid/ntlm_auth lonsdale/sun lonsdale/electra$ #auth_param ntlm children 5 #auth_param ntlm max_challenge_reuses 5 #auth_param ntlm credentialsttl 2 hours #THIS IS WORKING AT THE MOMENT auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/smb_auth -W LONSDALE -S /netlogon/proxy$ auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours -----------acl acl lonsdaleall proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow lonsdaleall
