Re: [squid-users] Difference bewteen smb_auth and ntl_auth with winbindd

The difference is in the authentication schemes configured in the
auth_param directive of squid.conf.

  basic plain text username+password login box

  ntlm NTLM login. Automatic login for MSIE users logged on to domain

  digest Digest HTTP authentication. login+password login box shown, but
the password is never sent in plain text over the network.

Each of these three schemes have their own set of helpers. The helper
you use have no effect on how the scheme operates, only how Squid
connects to your password database for verifying if the credentials
supplied by the users browser is valid or not.

You cannot use a helper designed for one authentication scheme in
another authentication scheme.
