Hi. I have runing a squid proxy that use ntlm to restict internet user access with my samba 3.x PDC. But some windows programs need to use basic auth (like msn messenger) how can I do to IE get ntlm auth, and the others program get basic auth. my squid.conf is # ntlm auth_param ntlm program /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp auth_param ntlm children 5 auth_param ntlm max_challenge_reuses 0 auth_param ntlm max_challenge_lifetime 2 hour auth_param ntlm use_ntlm_negotiate off # basic auth_param basic program /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-basic auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm Servidor de acceso a Internet auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hour auth_param basic casesensitive off in that order. But like that IE works fine, but msn messenger don't, seems to be like msn mssgr don't get the basic auth config. Buth if I revert the order, basic first, IE ask for user and password and msn mssgr works fine. I want that IE don't ask for a passwd, and msn messeger can work. thanks. -- Xavier Callejas El Salvador E-Mail + MSN: xcallejas at ibcinc.com.sv ICQ: 33336224 ------------------------------------------ Open your Mind, use Open Source.
