Hi all I'm a relative newbie, so be gentle when I'm dumb! I have a child proxy looking after part of a network, and I have it set that it directs all requests to a parent. I don't want the individual clients to authenticate to that child proxy. However, I do want the child proxy to authenticate to the parent. I can see from the documents how one would control access based on IP address. Is there a way to handle this with a username/password pair, and furthermore, manage that u/p pair through an external helper (so I could store the u/p in MySQL for example)?
