[squid-users] Tweaking squid_kerb_auth

Hi,

Running Kerberos auth ok for a while now and I wanted to look at possibilities of tweaking/optimising it.

Current helper conf:
auth_param negotiate program /usr/lib/squid/squid_kerb_auth -r -i -s GSS_C_NO_NAME
auth_param negotiate children 10
auth_param negotiate keep_alive on

400 or so AD users. Squid 3 STABLE 20 at the moment. Not caching, just authenticate and go.

What are the lists experiences of increasing children? Resources are not a problem as the machine is VM and I can always grant more.

I remember reading something about Kerberos specific option(s) for squid – something to do with re-using tickets but can't remember…could anyone shed some light on it (and their experiences).

I will be looking at moving to 3.1. Have the extra startup and idle helped you etc? Have you got any recommendations you have found have helped?

I'm interested to hear your experiences/suggestions.

Thanks,
Nick
