Hello, here is the configuration I'm using: auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwd auth_param basic children 10 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hour auth_param ntlm program /usr/lib/squid/ntlm_auth eu.ansell.com/brufps1 auth_param ntlm children 10 Both of the authentication ways are working fine on their own. When I configure them both, the following happens: On a machine joined on the domain, but logged in as local user, it asks for a username and password (which is normal expected behaviour). When I enter the username and password, it asks me over and over again for the username and password. I think it's using the ntlm_auth at that time instead of the basic auth. Is there a way I can change this so that when a local user (not a domain user) logs on, they have to enter the basic authentication? This whole system works just fine, when I use a computer that is not joined to the domain, then I just enter the basic auth username and password and it goes swiftly and without a problem on the internet.
