Hi, >Insert a rule allowing IM access before you require authentication in >http_access.
What would that look like in a squid.conf file? Right now, I have the following order of acl operator lines: ---------------------------------------------------------- acl student proxy_auth REQUIRED # allow unrestricted access to admins & staff http_access allow restrict-im admin-mc http_access allow restrict-im staff-mc # time restricted access for students http_access allow holiday-time restrict-im localnet http_access allow morning-time restrict-im localnet http_access allow night-time restrict-im localnet http_access allow student localnet .... ---------------------------------------------------------- Am I missing something here? >You could also check with Yahoo to see if their messeger >program supports proxy authentication - the feature might either be >hidden or available in newer versions. I'm using the latest 5.6 version. It supports SOCKS5 authentication, but not for HTTP proxy. Regards, Manu
