[squid-users] Problem with Tomcat Authentication behind Accelerator

Greetings,

Using Squid as an accelerator/redirector in front of a diverse
collection of machines and webservers/applications.

All works well until a client clicks on a particular application
which calls a JavaServerPage requiring authentication.
Tomcat generates the authentication page fine for the client

The problem is that the once the Login and Password are submitted.
The page created by Tomcat forces the submission to bypass our
main url, which Squid listens to, and instead tries to send it directly to the backend
machine which Tomcat is running on.

Problem is outside users are blocked from directly accessing the backend servers.

So is this something I can correct by modifying my Squid config file
or redirector OR is this something that should be directed to a Tomcat board?

Thank you,

John Kent
