[squid-users] repeating ldap authentication

I am having a problem with Ldap Auth/Squid. certain restricted users
being prompted multiple times for auth even though it should be cached.

This behaviour happens with a site such as
http://www.euroinvestor.co.uk/
many others as well.

This also did not happen in squid2.5.6 but happens constantly in
squid2.6.14 or squid2.6.16, i am guessing its some ldap config setting
but who knows.

Config info etc:
Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE16
configure options: '--prefix=/usr/local/squid2.6.16'
'--enable-basic-auth-helpers=LDAP'
'--enable-external-acl-helpers=ldap_group' '--enable-storeio=aufs,ufs

entries in squid.conf:
auth_param basic program /usr/local/squid2.6.16/libexec/squid_ldap_auth
-d -P -b o=businesswire.com -h servername.businesswire.com -f (uid=%s)

auth_param basic children 15
auth_param basic realm Business Wire Internet logon - Use InsideTrak
username and password to log on
auth_param basic credentialsttl 1 minute
auth_param basic casesensitive off

external_acl_type sfapp2ldapgroup %LOGIN
/usr/local/squid2.6.16/libexec/squid_ldap_group -d -b
"cn=Organization,cn=Businessw
ire Employees,o=businesswire.com" -f (&(cn=%a)(uniquemember=uid=%v*))
-h sfapp2.businesswire.com

Or maybe it's an ACL thing but cant figure out why it worked in
squid2.5.6 but not in 2.6.16 with the same squid.conf config paramters.

Thanks
