Authentication should really only come into play when ATS is being used as a 
FORWARD proxy for users surfing OUT through it. You describe a reverse proxy 
scenario where users are authenticated coming in to your servers, and this is 
not really the right way to do it.

I don't think ATS has authentication for regular forward proxy mode either, but 
the bottom line is that the authentication needs to be happening at a web 
server layer, not a proxy. If you insist on having authentication at the load 
balancer layer, you should consider using Apache httpd in reverse proxy mode, 
then you can add htdigest or whatever to that server.

Subject: Re: need help in configuring digest authentication on Traffic Server

I looked at the other proxy server such as squid. it has a configuration 
entries for digest authentication using auth_param. I am looking for similar 
configuration entries in ATS. But could not able to find it.

My first query is
1. Is ATS support Digest Authentication? If yes, can anyone please let me know 
how can I configure for it?

Thanks
Vijendra
