RE: [squid-users] Browser fails to prompt for authentication

I understand that you configured Squid based on the FAQ - however, the FAQ
you referred to does not have an exact section on how to configure
ncsa_auth. That is why I asked what the auth_param lines were.

Somehow I managed to miss you stating that you tested ncsa_auth from the
command line, so you obviously created the password file correctly. However,
did you make sure it was readable by the UID squid runs as (or make
ncsa_auth SetUID/GID to a UID/GID that can read the file)?

Transparent proxying does not work with authentication, so if the browser
and proxy were set for transparent mode that needs to be corrected.

I cannot provide any further assistance without more information.
