auth_param Squid asking to much
 

Hello!

We have auth_param working without problems.

squid.conf:


But I also have useres which are no poweruser and should have access to a site for telefonnumbers. The Problem is that this site has a whole bunch of sublinks leading to Banner pages (as the finance about this clicks).

The problem is that users that are not auth. and in the poweruser group get a loginpage for each of the banners as they come not from that site.

So the internatpage A.html is free to access for everybody but on that site are a lot of sublinks eg. B.html, C.html, D.html. If the user is not in the poweruser group for each of the linked sites a loginwindow is opened. How can i change that, so that the user only gets a login window once each session ?

Thanks

push

no one ?

Saavik, many things are not clear there, too many for anyone to answer clearly. My strong guess is that your squid.conf is wrong at some point (not visible at your quote). Unfortunately you are so unclear, that your /usr/local/squid/user file can be the problem too.
Just a guess because it is very hard answering something with this available data. Your post doesn't show any differences between the powerusers group and any other group. Be clear to have a clear answer, and I can give a little try, with my little time.

Well
 

Ok, so I`ll do my very best....


1. We have added the auth_mod to squid so that user CAN auth. by name and password
2. We also have a whitelist with http adresses which are free for access for anybody WITHOUT auth. needed
3. If a user wants to access a site which is not listed in the whitelist he MUST auth to squid and than he can access ANY site on the internet.

So it looks like in the squid.conf

So my problem is that if there is a site a.html which is in the whitelist but this site includes a link in a frame to the site b.html, you get the login window.

If this would only be once it would not be a big thing, but some site have 5-10 links and thats really not so nice.
