I upgraded to squid 3.0, and the slow prompt problem went away. Problem 1 solved. > Problem 2, I would like anyone who fails to authenticate to be assigned a > user creditials; default-user. How would I do this? No reasonably secure browser sends credentials by default. Anyone who fails to authenticate is requested to send credentials. Let me address problem 2 a different way. Suppose my external firewall bounces all traffic that is not originating from my proxy. Suppose there are automated applications that need to access the internet, and cant' supply credentials. Could I tweak squid's acl to not require authentication for devices trying to access those locations. Suppose I needed my anti virus to get files from http://myantivirus.com, but it doesn't open a browser to fetch these updates. -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/authentication-problems-tp3072735p3075367.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
