Right now I'm using auth_param digest program /usr/lib/squid/digest_pw_auth /etc/squid/wlan-proxyauth.digest Of course not every program can use "digest" AUTH, so what I'd like to do is: * authenticate using your favourite browser * keep browser open on a webpage which uses a refresh period of say 1 minute * then somehow use "authenticate_ip_ttl" to make authentication "sticky" to the IP address for a period of time. That way all other programs on that computer can still use the proxy WITHOUT having to authenticate. Unfortunately I cannot fathom how to actually use authenticate_ip_ttl -- I need a little piece of example config. -- Ralf Hildebrandt (i.A. des IT-Zentrums) Ralf.Hildebrandt@xxxxxxxxxx Charite - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 Gemeinsame Einrichtung von FU- und HU-Berlin Fax. +49 (0)30-450 570-962 IT-Zentrum Standort CBF send no mail to snickebo@xxxxxxxxxx
