the question in short: how can i do basic user authentication on a parent cache? the question on long: our squid hierachy looks like pc -> user-proxy -> parent-proxies -> internet/intranet access we want to restrict access to certain servers on the parent-proxy. i can setup user auth on the parent proxy. when i access the parent direct i get a password-dialog saying, type in my username/password and get forwarded. when i do the same with my "user"-proxy the authentication doesn't work. the passwort-dialog comes up, but it says that i should authenticate against "user-proxy"... i have read that this is the problem with "PROXY AUTH" HTTP-status 407 and 403. how can i solve this? i searched through mailing list and newsgroups but didn't find the right answer - maybe my searched with the wrong "question"... ;-) thanxs markus
