Switch "users" with "browsers" and you have it right. There is a whole layer of
software between squid and the people at the screen.
The browser is supposed to remember these things once the person has entered
them. Or as in the case of Kerberos, to locate the credentials without
bothering the person at all.
If you are seeing a browser repeatedly asking for login then there is a problem
with the browser. Those can occasionally be hit by something it does not like
coming back from Squid. When that happens some network forensics are needed to
figure out whats going on.
I know Firefox asks whether to keep authentication details. I am not
sure about MS IE.
Assuming they are using Firefox and the log-in details are kept by the
browser, are you implying there will not be continuous requests for
logging in with each accessed page forever?
That is the browser sends authentication details to squid and squid
allows them access accordingly.
Yes, exactly. When usable credentials are known the browser keeps them
until they stop working or the window closed. The remember question just
makes the credentials persist across window closures. This is the same
for all browsers.
