[squid-users] squid using NTLM Authentication - failed to access sites that req uired authentication

Hello,

We are using squid proxy (Version 2.5) on Solaris 2.8 X86 platform.

the squid run with NTLM authentication mode for internal users
authentication - this works fine.

But, When trying to access web sites that require user Authentication (by
opening new Authentication window) we failed.

site for example: http://www.baker.edu/administration/ininfo/

we get : The page cannot be displayed error page

when not using the NTLM Authentication on the proxy we manage to get to
those sites.

(https sites and sites that run a cgi authentication works fine also - the
problem exist only when the other side require

In the squid debug log we get :

2001/03/18 12:13:03| authenticateNTLMFixErrorHeader: state 4.

2001/03/18 12:13:03| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting...

FATAL: unexpected state in AuthenticateNTLMFixErrorHeader.

Squid Cache (Version 2.5.DEVEL): Terminated abnormally.

It seems that squid doing a restart to himself during this problem, that's
why we get the error : the page can't be displayed.

Any ideas ?

should we configure some how the header in such a way that the proxy won't
pass it to the remote site ?

does the proxy actually pass the username that was taken from the header
(while authenticate) to the remote site ?

Any help will be appriciate.

Thank you,
