Yes, that was what I read and implemented. But it didn't work ... ... until now !!! :D That was also my second thought - The order in the file! I placed the files before this acl and now it works ! acl ACLAUTH proxy_auth REQUIRED Squid config looks something like this: -------------------------- acl Java browser Java/1.4 Java/1.5 acl Windows-Update dstdomain .microsoft.com .windowsupdate.com http_access allow Java http_access allow Windows-Update acl usrauth proxy_auth REQUIRED acl DenyWindowsGroups external Domain_Group "/etc/squid/DeniedWindowsGroups" acl otatwrk src xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx acl local-servers dstdomain DOMAINSUFFIX .... .... .... -------------------------- Thanks for your help!

I had the same problem and I did the same thing you are thinking about. I bypassed authentication for java stuff. I've read many things including the sun knowledge base and there are many issues regarding authentication with the jvm, especially with ntlm! You can solve this by creating an acl like this: acl java_jvm browser Java/1.4 Java/1.5 http_access allow java_jvm Remember to keep it in front of any http_access lines regarding authentication, otherwise it won't work. I haven't worked out the windows update issue since I only do it in my servers and when I do I make a NAT rule in my firewall, but I think it has something to do with 443 port (ssl).
