Re: [squid-users] Authenticate to Intranet

The intranet page uses NT credentials to automatically authenticate the
user. I enabled the always_direct option for the local servers but it looks
like this does not do what I expected it to do (always_direct means never
cache? My proxy is still in the middle of the connection). Is there
another option I can enable to pass the credentials through seemlessly or
even an option to tell the browser to connect to the intranet directly and
bypass the proxy (without having to configure this options on the client
side)?

>>>>
You are expecting as
            Request Relyed Request
Client ----------> Proxy -----------------> Internet

For this ,you can use the never_direct option.It is used to send the relyed
requests without directly sending requests.
If You want to more options in the Access List ,use the link
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-10.html ---> Access Lists
Check the options of
always_direct: Controls which requests should always be forwarded directly
to origin servers.
never_direct: Controls which requests should never be forwarded directly to
origin servers.
and more in there.
