RE: [squid-users] Justification for authentication at the squid c ache level

# I'm looking for
#
# a). reasons for implementing authentication at the cache
# level i.e. how you
# persuaded "upper management" that it was a good idea to
# implement this
# functionality

One reason for us was tracebility of users activities, especially when
investigating criminal activities.

# b). response from user base - grumbles? complaints?

As long as you have commitment from upper management that should be no
problem.

# c). How you minimised the "additional login to do" problem

Depends on how your users login: if they log on to a NT-domain, you could
use NTLM-authentication; then you'll have tracebility, but no extra login.

# d). Implementation problems - any browser specific funnies
# that caused
# problems. As with most sites we've got every flavour of
# windows out there
# running god knows what sort of browser what did people do regarding
# supported browsers IE 6 only, Netscape, Mozilla, Phoenix, specifying
# "baseline" releases of specific browsers?

And no corporate standards? Hmmm...

Hope this helps,

Peter
