Version: 2.5.9-10sarge2 >Which browser(s)? Firefox 1.5 (linux) and IE 6.0 >What's your "auth_param digest" settings? auth_param digest program /usr/lib/squid/digest_pw_auth /etc/squid/digpass auth_param digest children 10 auth_param digest realm wireless auth_param digest nonce_garbage_interval 30 minutes auth_param digest nonce_max_duration 50 minutes auth_param digest check_nonce_count on auth_param digest nonce_strictness off authenticate_cache_garbage_interval 1 hour authenticate_ttl 1 hour I've modified the two parameters above, and now the auth request interval is more longer, but i'dont understand why. I thought that the function of authenticate_ttl was: the time that squid keep the user & their credentials in cache since their last request. All user credentials that have passed their TTL are removed from memory and at the next http request squid looks in password file for user credentials. If find it, squid doesn't show auth form. Where are the troubles? Thanks, Luca.
