RE: [squid-users] how to install MSNT authentification module

Thanks for the info, I would have waste some times if going through the MSNT
direction (just the same as SMB_AUTH).

What is nice with SMB_AUTH is that I just manage one NT group with all users
I want to have access to the Internet through the proxy.
I'm looking for the same thing but with automatic authentification without
the user to be prompt.
Would NTLM provides this ?
Allow or avoid specific user to access the Internet through managing a NT
group and having the authentification automatically done by Internet
Explorer (to get the name in the trace log) ?

MSNT always uses plaintext and requires the users to enter their
passwords. You are probably looking for the NTLM authentication scheme
(as opposed to module) which is available with squid 2.5.
