1) The webserver is asking for a username/password combo that it will attempt to match out of the domain's user database. Proxy or otherwise, I'd think that data would still be asked for, but realistically, for me I'll answer "don't know".
2) domainname\username 3) if this content *is* available by not going through the proxy, then you could have one of the webserver's pages have links like this: <a href=actual_server_ip/1st quarter reports-last year>1st qrt</a> <a href=proxy.com/1st quarter reports-this year>1st qrt</a> <a href=proxy.com/2nd quarter reports-this year>2nd qrt</a> Chris -----Original Message----- From: Merton Campbell Crockett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 13, 2004 10:05 AM To: Squid Users List Subject: [squid-users] NTLM Authentication 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?
