There is no way you can authenticate users in transparent proxy, because when users are using transparent, they didnt knew that they are using proxy.
the only solution is remove the transparent proxy and authenticate a user. There is one more solution, worth trying.. you can use a automatic script for the users which will give them a proxy address and authenticate users. for that you can you can add a line in your httpd.conf AddType application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig .pac pac means Proxy Auto Configuration after that give that url off you .pac file in client browser's autoconfiguration url http://localhost/squid/proxy.pac now this will authenticate the users as well as less load on entering proxy addresses on client browser settings.. one more thing you can doo is that you can make a registry key for windows users which will add the proxy settings automatically for your clients.. Tell me if i am wrong, or if you find any other way of working do tell everyone here. --- In linuxvadapav@yahoogroups.com, "Ravi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is there any way to authenticate client users with proxy > server(ncsa,ntlm,pam,ldap etc) and the proxy been in the transparent > mode.
