Hi All,
 
In our environment currently we are using ISA server with userbased 
authentication. we are using windows 2003 Active Directory and almost all of 
the users are using Windows based OS. We want to seemlessly migrate our users 
to Squid.
I have not yet reached to any conlusion despite lot of studies/efforts/Squid 
Support. I would like you people to guide me in detail please.
 
If Negotiate/kerberos has a limitation in squid that it has only one fallback 
scheme and that is Basic/Ldap. Then isnt it a safe option to use 
netgotiate/NTLM if all users belonged to Microsoft Active Directory only?
 
 
 
 
As every logged-in domain user will always possess a valid NTLM token even if 
it dont have a valid kerberos token. So this scheme will not require any 
Fallback authentication mechanism to be defined.I would probably be needing to 
enumerate Active directory users through some mechanism(which i am not sure 
about at this moment) to get this scheme working. Am i right? please guide in 
detail.
 
 
 
Another thing which is confusing is that if alike kerberos NTLM token(and hence 
users credentials) will automatically passed to squid and user never requires a 
need to explicitly give password. Am i right?
 
 
 
What will happen if the user is not logged into the domain but on a workstation 
that is part of workgroup. I assume that in that case a password popup screen 
will appear and user will give his/her credentials in domainname/user format  
and that will work? 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
regards,
 
Bilal Aslam
