Thanks for the pointers. I should have explained a bit more about what I'm attempting though. All of our users are stored in Novell's eDirectory. I can use LDAP to authenticate to that db. I've gotten that to work with Squid. I'm just trying to find a way to avoid the popup prompt for authentication. As far as I know, there isn't a way to do that with Squid. Correct? I could be wrong on that since I'm still new to this.
 
So if I can't pass the credentials like I can with NTLM, my other thought was to have them redirected to a login web page and then pass those credentials onto Squid. This way would be nice in that I could post the policies on that page as a reminder to the users. This sounds doable to me. But as I said above, I'm still new to Squid.
 
Again thanks for the tips. This is by far one of the most active and helpful mailing lists I subscribe to. :)
 
Thanks,
