Hi, I have my own squid authenticator that works nicely but people get sick of having to type their credentials in each time IE loads. Does anyone know of a launcher script or program that will tell IE to enter a username/password (even from a text file) when it hits the squid proxy? I'm not fussy about the password - it could be a generic one as long as the user couldn't change the username the launcher is sending and I can change the code of the authenticator. There doesn't seem to be any useful command line switches for IE but perhaps there's a 3rd party application or some registry hack? Surely it must be a common problem or does everyone just use IIS?! Thanks, Adrian.
I get the impression most people with clients on windows use NTLM one way or another to authenticate the users machine login before the login box occurs.
Amos -- Please use Squid 2.6STABLE17 or 3.0STABLE1. There are serious security advisories out on all earlier releases.
