RE: [squid-users] Squid/Samba authenication with wrong username

I am not sure that I am clear. It is working already for the most part,
just not exactly as I want it to.

Take this example:

If I use command "wbinfo -u" I will receive the user "Shane" as one
account listed... But, in Windows XP, I am signed in under
"DOMAIN\Shane" so the authentication does not recognize me. If I type
in "Shane" in logon screen for Squid, I am able to use just fine... The
access log is updated as I browse the web. But, if I attempt to logon
with "DOMAIN\Shane" I am rejected.

I want Squid to recognize the "DOMAIN\Shane" as the username so my users
do not have to logon.

It would seem that if I can append "DOMAIN\" to the username that is
passed, things would be fine... But I am not sure.

Thank you for the assistance.

Shane

Google for squid nltm samba and you should find several resources about
setting up what you want. I would get it working without groups FIRST
and them add them later....one thing at a time.
