Dear all,
I have installed Squid in Windows 2008 with NTLM authentication but the
browser still prompts for login.
I read in the forums that NTLM won't work if:
"- the client is not joined to a domain
- the client is configured not to attempt automatica authentication to
the proxy
- the clients is not MSIE or Firefox (not sure about other browsers)"
That last point is false. WMP and Java apps are known to do NTLM.
There is no reason other browsers on windows can't do it too.
In this environment all clients are MSIE.
Add to that list:
- if the server closes the connection all the time behind HTTP/1.0
proxies (ie Squid).
I don't think this is happening on this case.
In this case, Squid is replacing an ISA Server. NTLM was working with
the ISA server but without any changes to the clients (just replacing
the ISA Server by Squid) NTLM doesn't work.
The only situation where the browser doesn't prompt for authentication
is when the server is added to the Trusted Zone and IE is configured
with Automatic login. But this won't necessary with the ISA Server.
What am I missing?
Thanks,

There has been a lot of testing and checking of NTLM and persistent
connections recently in exactly this area. Squid-3.1.7 contains a number of
fixes.
Squid is running on Windows Server (2003 and 2008) and it's not an easy
task to compile it. I didn't find any binary distribution after 2.7.
I've been trying to compile it without success although I didn't find
any document saying clearly that 3.1.X versions can be compiled on windows.
I'm still trying. Thanks for your help.
