Authentication Pop Up Irritant

[Manish Kathuria <manish@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have configured SMB NTLM Authentication on Squid-2.5.STABLE6 running 
on Fedora Core 3 having Samba-3.0.8 to authenticate the users against a 
Windows NT4 PDC. I have further created acls based on usernames to allow 
them access to only selected sites and deny access to the rest. Whenever 
the users open the allowed sites through IE they are given access 
without any popup box for authentication, which was happening while 
using the MSNT Basic authentication. However, some of these sites have 
minor content (for example a small image or some data) which is fetched 
from other sites and whenever such a page is opened the popup box for 
authentication again appears repeatedly on the display which is 
irritating most of the users. I want that after the user has been 
authenticated against the NT PDC, no such popup box should appear and 
the content from unallowed sites should just be ignored or not displayed 
at all. Any suggestions ?

Thanks,
