Mixed Auth and No-Auth?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have toyed around with the config and read over the
doc on authentication and authorization.  Sorry if I
have missed the obvious...

I already have squid and shorewall working together to
make a transparent proxy.  Is it possible to require
authentication only for certain domains (for this
example we will call them marginaldomains {flickr,
myspace, google video} )?

Wait! Before you scream.  I know you can't
authenticate transparently.  But if one wanted to
visit a marginaldomain he could configure his browser
for the proxy directly (ala Firefox quick proxy
extension).

Why would I want to do this?  Well I don't want to
have to reconfigure my browser (or anyone who joins my
network) most of the time, or when I leave the
network.  But on the occasion that an appropriate
individual needs access to a marginaldomain I want to
have that option.

So in other words is Squid either authenticate or not
authenticated?  Or can it be both depending on the ACL?
