Re: [squid-users] ntlm_auth and basic auth.

Hello,

here is the configuration I'm using:

auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwd
auth_param basic children 10
auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hour
auth_param ntlm program /usr/lib/squid/ntlm_auth eu.ansell.com/brufps1
auth_param ntlm children 10

Both of the authentication ways are working fine on their own.
When I configure them both, the following happens:
On a machine joined on the domain, but logged in as local user, it
asks for a username and password (which is normal expected behaviour).
When I enter the username and password, it asks me over and over again
for the username and password.

I think it's using the ntlm_auth at that time instead of the basic auth.
Is there a way I can change this so that when a local user (not a
domain user) logs on, they have to enter the basic authentication?

This whole system works just fine, when I use a computer that is not
joined to the domain, then I just enter the basic auth username and
password and it goes swiftly and without a problem on the internet.

Thanks for any advice
Filip Ruymen
