[squid-users] NTLM authentication and Windows Media Player 9 and 10

Hi,

I've been using squid for some time, and recently we started to use
NTLM authentication. My squid server is a Fedora Core 3, and we are
authenticating against active directory in windows 2000, using the
samba helper.

However, we have some problems with Windows Media Player, which
insists to always ask for authentication everytime it needs to change
the stream bandwidth. This problems occurs only with WMP, browsing
works fine (except the Java plug-in with the CONNECT method).

I found some informations in MSDN about some problems about detecting
if the proxy server is in Intranet Zone. In my setup, the workstations
are not in the same subnet as the proxy server, may be this is the
cause?

Below is the relevant part of my config:

auth_param ntlm program /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp
auth_param ntlm children 10
auth_param ntlm max_challenge_reuses 0
auth_param ntlm max_challenge_lifetime 2 minutes
auth_param ntlm use_ntlm_negotiate on

Thanks for any help
