[squid-users] Need Help here

I have read enough discussion regarding the authentication.
But I could not find answer to my question.

Pls correct me if I am wrong. Is the authentication method
basic, smb, ntlm, digest are really for authenticating users
TO THE SQUID server so that they are able to use the cache??

If they are, I think I have one big missing piece of the puzzle that
what does that play to authenticate users to the DESTINATION web
server.

I have mission critical server located at overseas offices that needs to be
authenticated. But the IIS won't let users in while the squid is in the
middle and
I heard about ntlm could solve the problem but I could not get the ntlm
working.

I would certainly appreciate if someone can be kind enough to give me some
direction about how this thing works.

Right now, I am using basic authentication method on squid2.5 stable 1.
I heard that one will have to use some perl script to be able to use two
auth
program at the same time. But why do I need two if I only need it to
authenticate
users to use the cache.

Sherman
