Re: [SQU] NDS Autentication

Is this using basic, Digest or NTLM authentication for the browser? I didn't
think IE (or netscape for that matter) would present credentials to a proxy
other than NTLM without prompting the user.

The back-end system (LDAP/NDS/htpasswd etc) is largely irrelevant for
"seamless" logins - what matters is the front end presented to the
application.

I would be very interested to know what http headers Bordermanager returns
to IE with the 407 (Proxy authentication required) prompt when the user
starts up IE. That would pretty much tell you what is going on.
