Background:
(1) Users at one office access an internal web server through a Squid
proxy server.
(2) The internal web server is "publicly" accessible except for a set
of directories containing financial data.
(3) For an older set of financial reports, there were instructions on
how to present your authentication credentials indicating the web
server was configured to use basic authentication, i.e. the user
ID was given as WINSdomain\username.
(4) A new set of reports was recently added to the web server but
cannot be accessed through the Squid proxy.
(5) The login screen presented to the user looks like the standard
screen used for basic authentication.
Questions:
(1) When a web server uses NTLM authentication, will a login screen
be presented when the web site is accessed via a Squid proxy?
(My recollection from years ago was that the login screen was
only displayed when basic authentication was enabled?)
(2) The web server was recently switched from a WindowsNT to an
Active Directory domain. What is the syntax for a user login
ID when basic authentication is used?
(3) Is there a convenient way of specifying to the user that they
should bypass the proxy for a subset of the web content?
