Here is the process we are trying to create. 1. User boots computer 2. opens browser (attempts to go to url) 3. Initial website displays Gives user option to Activate account or Login 4. New user activates account returns to initial page and logs in 5. Activated user logs in 6. They browse the net.
Is it possible (using more than 1 proxy server if necessary)? When I turn on auth I get a dialog box requesting userid and passwd. Can that page be modified to display disclaimer/login activation or is that more work than its worth? As you said Chris, just knowing that it is possible is half the battle. Right now I'm looking for possibilities. I need to know I'm on the right track or find out where the track is. rick...

Define "initial", map all the steps out that you need to have occur. I'm a user, and I input www.google.com into my browser. As an admin, do you want me to "initially" go to google or to this disclaimer page? If the disclaimer page...ok, you can redirect www.google.com (or all traffic) to go to the disclaimer page, but...it always will go there. There isn't a counter type thing that knows you already attempted google once, so the next time it should let really go to google. I suppose, using the ACL's you could check against a userlist. If they are not in the list, then they get redirected to the signup/disclaimer page. This signup page/application needs to populate the "ok" userlist quickly and on the fly though. You need this site to always be accessable too. Otherwise if a user tried to reach a subpage within the disclaimer site, squid would again redirect them to the homepage of the disclaimer site. I'm new at squid too, only been using it a month or so, and not in the way you want to use it either. Knowing something is possible is half the battle though, the rest is just figuring it out and making it go.

I need to have all traffic on our student network display an initial website for disclaimers and info. Would this be done through a redirector or is there an acl I am unaware of? I am using squid 2.5.stable5. thanks rick... Rom.5:8
