Re: [squid-users] Authentication related query

Thanks for the response.I am herewith pasting the
 squid.conf for ur perusal.

As far as I can tell, your squid.conf looks ok (though I've never used 
pam_auth before). Unless it is a problem with pam_auth, I would have to say 
it is most definitely a browser problem.

An easy way to check would be to switch to a different basic auth helper (such 
as ncsa_auth) and see if the problem goes away.

Are you attemting to set up authentication in a transparently intercepting 
proxy? This is not possible to do due to the nature of intercepting port 
80.

To use authentication you MUST have the browser configured to use the 
proxy.

Then the problem could be with your browser. Squid requires the
browser to send the authentication credentials for every request made.
It is the browser alone that controls when and how to get the
authentication info from the user.

Post your squid.conf so we can make sure nothing's wrong there - be
sure to remove any blank lines or comments.

Then I do not know what the cause may be... have you tried with another 
browser?
