Re: [squid-users] caching of auth stuff

No.

The only thing Squid keeps track of is the users password, and only
that it is valid. If Squid does not know the entered password is
valid for the username then it will query the auth helper.

It is possible that the PAM LDAP module caches some information. This
is outside of our control. The Squid PAM helper does not cache
anything.
