Thanks for the heads up. Willing to test and try squid_kerb_auth.
Do you have any configuration/compile options you can share on this. This is my smb.conf, as you can see "security = domain" squid2# cat /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf workgroup = apac netbios name = squid2 server string = New Sydney Lan Proxy security = domain password server = audc1 audc2 wins server = 192.168.71.21 192.168.48.23 winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind use default domain = yes client NTLMv2 auth = No client lanman auth = Yes allow trusted domains = no Regards Nick Apostolou IT Infrastructure | ABN AMRO Bank Australia/NZ Ph: +61 2 8259 5330 | Fax: +61 2 8259 5440 | Mobile: + 61 401 709 007 email: [email protected] "Plant, Dean" <[email protected]> 24/02/2009 08:52 PM To <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> cc Subject RE: [squid-users] pop up authentication prompts Plant, Dean wrote: > [email protected] wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Anyone got any suggestions on my authentication prompt problems with >> NTLM authentication? >> >> I've also got a test box which was build with a tar ball of the >> squid and samba directories which authenticates with no problem and >> does not give any errors in the cache.log. >> >> Regards >> Nick Apostolou >> IT Infrastructure | ABN AMRO Bank Australia/NZ >> Ph: +61 2 8259 5330 | Fax: +61 2 8259 5440 | Mobile: + 61 401 709 007 >> email: [email protected] > > Try the squid_kerb_auth module.
