Thanks, i've made it working using a modification of your recommendations.
I summarize my solution in case others have a similar problem:
- Class 5 Delay Pools used (limit by Tag)
- External Auth helper program assigns username as EXT_TAG
- When Digest is used, there is a dummy helper that just assigns
username as EXT_TAG
- Dummy helper is activated using "http_access allow proxyauth
digest_tagger"
- Classification in multiple delay pools is done via other external_auth
ACLs
- These external_auths are activated (to circumvent slow/fast acl
issues) using "http_access allow EXTACLNAME !all"
- These external_auths need to interpret both the external_auth header
and the digest callback to get the username
Best Regards
Nils
