RE: [squid-users] Re: Re: SSO with Active Directory-Squid Clients

Nick,
 
Thank you so much for your support. I am now much confident about Negotiate/Kerberos and have just decided to jump into the real thing (as enough theory). As far as KVNo i have not experienced it yet(as not practically implemented) however i may too in due course and surely will share with you. Rather i will share my whole experience.
 
regards,
 
Bilal

I want to use Kerberos as my primary authentication as IE7 and FF onwards are moving that way..but for my situation some browsers or applications do not support this and I must also use NTLM. However, Opera on my Macs seems to not like either and prefers Basic.. It's been a struggle to get each element to work but not impossible.

Many of the authentication breaking elements have disappeared when compared to my Blue Coat and ISA experiences. Those machines joined to the domain using browsers that support Neg/Kerb work seamlessly with Kerberos - FF and IE - and pass through credentials. Mac Safari relies on NTLM and prompts as such. Mac Opera prompts for Basic. Therefore if you're just Windows I would answer fairly confidently that your question 1 answer is Yes.

> Users not on the domain would be prompted for credentials. I haven't tested this and depending on which helper you are using (Samba or Squids) and whether you're joined to the domain I believe Negotiate should fall back to NTLM and work providing you supply a valid domain user/pass! So the answer to 2 would be 'depends..' :)

> As for the issue of not being to able to use Squid at all and taking into account what I said earlier, then yes there could be a scenario where Squid will not work for your users. However, it is less of a problem in just Windows. It's all about testing your various Windows configurations, apps and browsers until you are sure you have covered the conceivable setups of all your users.
