Re: [squid-users] Squid and NTLM passthrough

Thanks a lot for the clarification.

I've had a look at the cache_peer directive in the Squid 3.0 manual (not
at work, so can't try it). It looks to me like we would probably need
"login=PASS" - except that the 3.0 manual specifically says that this
only works with basic authentication. My understanding of the manual is
also that this would require us to have authentication turned on on the
Squid proxy, and then these authentication details would be passed up -
but what you say below leads me to believe that we don't need to make
any configuration changes to the Squid proxy.

Have I misread it, or am I missing something?

Thanks again for all your help.
