[squid-users] Changing HTTP BASIC 'Realm' to force user logout / reauthentication

Hello squid users. Is anyone able to help me, please ?

I mistakenly thought I was clever and could force users to logout of
squid by changing the realm and immediately restarting the server.
I even thought I could do this with a small cron job, say, 4 times a day.

Background:

   http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/auth.html

   so that if other resources are requested *from the same realm*, the
   same username and password can be returned to authenticate

Re-creation:

1. HTTP authenticate
2. delta squid.conf, specifically, auth_param basic realm *Change Realm *
3. service squid restart
4. F5 refresh

However, I surf seamlessly without the HTTP BASIC prompt.

Should this not work ?

Cdlt, Dave
