If it is just for investigation of credentialsttl then you definitaly are going about it all wrong. credentialsttl is how often Squid sends a helper lookup to the backend authentication server. Nothing more. > > auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid3/basic_ldap_auth auth_param > basic children 5 startup=5 idle=1 auth_param basic realm Squid > proxy-caching web server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 minutes Expected behaviour with this: * client sends credentials on every request, which moves the auth through two basic states [state A - DUNNO] * When client sends a request, credentials from that request gets sent to a helper for validation, [state B - AUTHENTICATED/INVALID] * all requests which use the *same* credentials, will be allowed or denied as per helper OK/ERR result, * if less than 120 seconds have passed stay in state B. * when 120 seconds have passed, the helper result for those credentials is expired, move back to state A.
