Re: [squid-users] authentication problem and "Server redirected too many times (20)" error message

[Rami Jaamour]

I do configure Mozilla to use the proxy, giving it the host name and 
port and it worked in the past before I did the authentication, but when 
Squid is configured to require authentication, then the browser (both 
mozilla and IE) keep prompting for username and password.  Is my 
squid.conf correct to do the proxy authentication?  When I hit cancel, I 
get the following HTML error page:

 ERROR

   Cache Access Denied

While trying to retrieve the URL: 
http://soaptest.parasoft.com/calculator.wsdl

The following error was encountered:

   * Cache Access Denied.

Sorry, you are not currently allowed to request:

   http://soaptest.parasoft.com/calculator.wsdl

from this cache until you have authenticated yourself.

You need to use Netscape version 2.0 or greater, or Microsoft Internet 
Explorer 3.0, or an HTTP/1.1 compliant browser for this to work. Please 
contact the cache administrator <mailto:webmaster> if you have 
difficulties authenticating yourself or change 
<http://katze.parasoft.com/cgi-bin/chpasswd.cgi> your default password.

My Squid works fine without authentication but when I try to use
ncsa_auth I get problems.
When I use mozilla with the proxy settings configured to my squid, it
keeps infinitely prompting for the username and password even though I
give it the correct username and password.
   

Are you running Squid as a transparently intercepting proxy?

To use proxy authentication your browser MUST be configured to use a 
proxy.
