proxy (basic) authorization works well for the moment - so far so good... i had a look at one of the commercial products recently and they do some kind of single sign-on for their proxy service - the user will logon for the first time with username/password - a flash cookie (LSO - local stored object) will be set in the users broswer with no expiration time - further authorizations (after browser was closed / machine restarted) will be granted based on this flash cookie
i am in no way a squid/auth/flash guru... has anyone tried a similar approach on squid? it seems that flash can be used to set various headers in the browser (if flash plugin installed...) so lets say the authentication succeeds and flash will set the 'proxy-auth' header ...will this header then be used in all subsequent browser requests? a bit flash centric i know - pardon me ;D /pat
