Hi folks, I have a strange squid-behavor with basic authentication. Situation: - I have 3 squid servers (2 dual xeon, 1 p3-1200). Tonight Squid is stopped, some configuration files are updated, and squid is started again. All with basic authentication via a Radius helper. Next day i fire up my browser and it keeps asking my password while the radius helper started by hand says my password is okay. It's not only on one squid-box, there are mornings 2 boxes have problems.. strange enough that 3'rd box doesn't give errors (it's not in de main LVS proxy array, but is a test/standby server). What I do is a squid -k reconfigure on the box(es) giving problems... and then everything is okay. Does anybody have *any* idea where I can search this. I tried already 'squid -kdebug', but that gaves me a logfile of gigabytes within minutes... The problem occurs not only in the morning (=> low hits/sec), I got it just 10 minutes ago on a server under full load. After 10 minutes it suddenly 'repairs' and everything will work fine.. I noticed that after some times struggling with the password input the problem occurs with new users (password not in squid cache-memory) Some more info from cachemgr: - 98% space of 128MB cachemem used - no queue for the 32 basicauth helpers - max used helpers ~= 3 - external helper working okay (using external helper for database lookups, works fine, it just gives problem when trying to authorize basic-auth clients). Thanks for your info, Janno. -- Janno de Wit DNA Services B.V.
