I understand this. And I understand the Squid has to challenge.

I get an error if no credentials or incorrect credentials are sent. It
comes up and says "Cache Access Denied" or some such.

I have unauthenticated guests on the network in question. These should
fail to authenticate or refuse to as the case may be. They should be
able to access most web pages.

The problem is there are some categories (AI page classifier in use
here) of pages that should only be available to a subset of
authenticated users. So, somehow, I need to try to get users to
authenticate. Things should work whether or not they do. If they do, and
they are in appropriate groups (looking at writing a lua external acl at
the moment, but the wbinfo one can be used if not) then they can access
certain categories.

I do have transparent proxying working, so if this cannot be done, I may
just have the users not authenticating use that, but that defeats the
caching part of the setup which is very much desired.

Thank you for the response and any help that may be offered,
Trever
