RE: [squid-users] Authentication Pop Up Irritant

IE have problem with multiple connections and NTLM. You should try to set
the following registry values in
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings"

Create the following DWORD values: MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server and
MaxConnectionsPerServer
For both of them, set the value to 1.

Hope this help.

Regards,

Hugues

Subject: [squid-users] Authentication Pop Up Irritant

Hi,

I have configured SMB NTLM Authentication on Squid-2.5.STABLE6 running
on Fedora Core 3 having Samba-3.0.8 to authenticate the users against a
Windows NT4 PDC. I have further created acls based on usernames to allow
them access to only selected sites and deny access to the rest. Whenever
the users open the allowed sites through IE they are given access
without any popup box for authentication, which was happening while
using the MSNT Basic authentication. However, some of these sites have
minor content (for example a small image or some data) which is fetched
from other sites and whenever such a page is opened the popup box for
authentication again appears repeatedly on the display which is
irritating most of the users. I want that after the user has been
authenticated against the NT PDC, no such popup box should appear and
the content from unallowed sites should just be ignored or not displayed
at all. Any suggestions ?

Thanks,

Manish Kathuria
