RE: [squid-users] winbind authentication

I have seen this before and it seems to be a function of the application
not knowing how to authenticate with the proxy. AIM and MSN use NSCA
auth. I don't know a workaround for it.

Subject: [squid-users] winbind authentication

I have configured squid proxy server with winbind enable option. winbind

runs properly with squid and i get all the results specified in the
squid
FAQ. like, pop up window asking password from browsers and entries in
access.log with the names of users.

But i cannot use any messenger services using that proxy server, evenif
the
user is authorized to use it. He can even access any websites from the
proxy
but not the messenger services. I have changed preference option in
yahoo/hotmail messenger to the proxy address with port number. then
also,
When i tried to connect to any messenger, I failed.

Access.log entry for messenger request includes( i have shown only
related
entries) :

timestamp ............... TCP_DENIED ...... -NONE-

One point i have noted:

- even though the winbind is enable and user is authorized windowNT
domain
user, username entry shows NONE instead of the username. I am sure this
causes the
request to be not satisfied.
- i am getting valid username entry for all other webpage requests.

Please help me to enable messenger services with winbind enable

Thank you

Dhaval.
