Hi Guido,

Yes putting the acl statement does work.  Thanks for that hint very much!!!
#Have added the lines like you suggested:
acl Java browser Java/1.1 Java/1.2 Java/1.3 Java/1.4 Java/1.5
http_access allow Java
# Also have the lines
acl Grp proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow Grp

Seems to work with the 1.4 and 1.5 plugins. Will test also for the base 1.1.8.
In the access_log file, all java driven requests only have the IP; whereas all other browser requests also have the identity of the user.


Thanks once again

Glenn

Hi Guido,

Does this mean that authentication support must be built into the applet? If we do build this in, we still need to load the applet first before executing it, and this is what is being prevented, or is there a way around this?


The main problem is that the Sun JVM and the browser doesn't share authentication info (I don't know if in the latest 5.0 something is changed), so when using a proxy, the applet should pop-up again for user authentication (if the JVM supports the used authentication schema). Sometimes I have found some Java applets that never pop-ups for user authentication and simply fail ....

I'm not a Java developer, so, I can't help you on the Java side. On the Squid side, you can allow unauthenticated JVM http requests, see the thread of my previous message.

Regards

Guido
