Re: [squid-users] NCSA authentication lifetime

Not relevant.

This tells how often Squid will verify the credentials with the backend
database.

The user always logs in to Squid on each and every request. To avoid flooding
the backend password database with requests Squid caches the results, knowing
that if the user logged in with a certain login+password, then the same
login+password seen within authenticate_ttl is assumed to be valid.
