Re: [squid-users] Users Authentication on the second proxy of a chain

You can perform the authentication on your "Squid2" proxy, as you'll do if
there was no "Squid1". The authentication request is a HTTP header, which
can pass through several proxies. I use it in my configuration :

Users
Local proxy (routing, caching)
Regional proxy ( routing, caching, LDAP authentication ) -> LDAP server
Company proxy (routing, caching)
Internet
