RE: [squid-users] NTLM Auth with Parent Cache

 
It is not possible with an out of the box Squid prior to 2.6, which isn't stable yet. There is a patch (connection pinning) that you require to do NTLM through a Squid. Best option would be to wait until the 2.6 branch is ready for production use.

Subject: [squid-users] NTLM Auth with Parent Cache

I'm having some trouble with NTLM auth with a parent cache.

I have four branches and a main office. Each office has a squid server with
the main office containing the parent cache. There are end users at all
five offices.

I can turn on NTLM auth at any of the branch offices and it will work until
I turn on NTLM auth at the main office. Then the main office will work with
NTLM but the users at the branch offices are being prompted for a username
and password which will never authenticate. I also get errors like this in
the squid logs at the branches: "Unexpected change of authentication scheme
from 'ntlm' to 'Basic"

Is it even possible to use NTLM authentication in this type of setup?

Thanks,

David Gullett
