It is the same domain, but it is definitely the switching of protocols. I fixed this by having squid redirect http to https before the auth popup using: acl httpPort myport 80 http_access deny httpPort deny_info https://owa.server.domain/owa httpPort http_access allow OWA_Allowed http_access deny all -----Original Message----- From: Amos Jeffries [mailto:squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2009 8:37 PM Cc: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: multiple pop-up authentications when moving http to https Nick Duda wrote: > We have squid setup for a test in reverse mode for using outlook web access. We have it setup to use authentication into active directory. Basically, if you are part of a certain AD group you get denied access to OWA via the proxy. So how this works is someone browses to OWA via HTTP (which is the proxy) and they get a pop-up prompt to login/authenticate. Once they authenticate the page that loads redirects them automatically to the HTTPS version of OWA, but squid pops-up the authentication box again because, what I guess, is that it's a new protocol (https) and needs to reauth the user. > > This is annoying to have 2 pop-ups. If the user just hits the HTTPS version of the URL its fine, but most people don't, and rely on the transparent HTTP->HTTPS redirection. > > Ideas on how to make this go away? Can I configure squid to do the redirection before authentication? If so, how? Provided you have HTTPS and HTTP on the same domain name they will only need to auth once. What I think is actually happening is this: - login to Squid - login to OWA Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE6 or 3.0.STABLE19 Current Beta Squid 3.1.0.13
