Hi All,

If users require authentication in squid before browsing, is there a way for example to tell squid since user has authenticated in IE, if the user plans on using firefox while IE is still running, do not authenticate.


Most web-things are possible.
Try automatic NTLM auth, see if you can get it authenticating in the background without either IE or Firefox needing to show the login box.

There are other ways, but, they open MAJOR security holes you REALLY do not want to open.

FWIW: if you have Firefox installed why do you even let the users see IE as present on the PC? It's only needed for WindowsUpdate and then marginally. Removing IE from under temptations fingers closes a lot of security holes in windows (94% of the current SANS list) with one action.
