[squid-users] Squid detecting wrong Windows User

2010-09-29 Thread Alex Marsal

Hello,

I'm having a weird issue with my squid implementation.

I've a windows user which is running internet explorer with his logged  
windows username (proxyuser01) but in access.log his request appear as  
another windows user (proxyadmin).


If I have a look at the task manager iexplore is running as the  
correct windows user but squid sees the requests as made by another  
windows user.


Have tried the same windows user in another machine and work ok.

Other windows usernames in the same mache works ok.

Same username and machine with firefox works ok.

Any idea of what could be the problem? Actually I have 2 diferent  
users and machine having this problem.


Thanks for your help

Is this happening occasionally? or on every single request made by this
user?

Seeing this all the time is pretty clear that something is actually
sending Squid the wrong credentials. Squid does not detect as such, but
sends out challenges indicating "send me your credentials or go away".

What may be happening varies wildly depending on what authentication
systems are in use. Do you know which ones are you working with? and is
IDENT protocol, cache_peer directives or external_acl_type helpers
supplying credentials in any other way?

And which versions of Windows, IE, and Squid?

The simplest would be if IE was using cached credentials from that
proxyadmin user in it's browser password manager.
