But, if i write, in squid.conf in proxy_auth acl, user instead of User, Squid do not grant access, with authentication deny. Is there a way to accept "user" and "User" at the same way? > > Yes.

When working with 2008 and 2008 R2 domain controller, kerberos authentication is better than ntlm, is it right? Thank you! Francesco
