RE: [squid-users] Challenge/Response with Cache Peers (NTLM)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

	the "main cache" unit forwards requests to the two peers, which are
set as parents with icp enabled. There is no logging or authentication until
the "squid NTLM" unit at which stage the user is authenticated against the
Windows 2003 machine. I have it working perfectly if I point directly to
"squid NTLM", but if I point to "main cache" it fails. If I look in the log
when its successful I get DOMAIN\user - when it fails all I see is user...

I hope this has explained it more...

The main goal is to do single signon through multiple cache's with
login=PASS set on the peers

Could you paste the relevant lines in the three boxes' squid.conf?

Do you want the two peers to be directly accessed? If the purpose is for
them to only cache, you might want to distinguish roles: main cache does
auth + logging + request routing, the others do caching (you might want
use CARP to balance the parents to maximize efficiency). If so, it would
be enough for you to use a 'src' type acl on the parents locked on the
main cache ip and log usernames only on the main cache log.
