Hello, at the moment some users are using my new proxy (with kerberos auth instead of NTLM). There is just one unlikely thing yet. First time browser starts (start page google) it takes several seconds till google page is loaded. When I continue browsing to another page, this delay isn't noticeable. I suspect It has to do with the initial authentication. Is this normal or can I adjust some config? This is my config for Kerberos: auth_param negotiate program /usr/lib64/squid/squid_kerb_auth auth_param negotiate children 10 auth_param negotiate keep_alive on Thanks for helping me. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Fuhrmann, Marcel [mailto:Marcel.Fuhrmann@xxxxxx] Gesendet: Samstag, 2.

In a few weeks I will report if the bottlenecks are eliminated. This is now my config: auth_param negotiate program /usr/lib64/squid/squid_kerb_auth auth_param negotiate children 10 auth_param negotiate keep_alive on external_acl_type checkgroup %LOGIN /usr/lib64/squid/squid_ldap_group -R -K -b "dc=DOMAIN,dc=local" -D ldap -w "PASSWORD" -f "(&(objectclass=person)(sAMAccountName=%v)(memberof=cn=%g,ou=UserGroups,dc=DOMAIN,dc=local))" -h DOMAINCONTROLLER .

Thanks for help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amos Jeffries wrote: > The big issues you have are: > * using NTLM.

Whether that is a big drag or not depends on what you are using it for and whether Squid can do that faster by itself. > > These are your big performance bottlenecks. Eliminating any of them will speed up your proxy. BUT whether it is worth doing is up to you.
