Don't confuse M$ networking with tcp/ip ... they're not the same ... Squid supports authentication via helper programs. I'm sure if you look hard enough on the net you can find one that will do SMB (windows) authentication. On Mon, 2003-01-27 at 15:27, Peter Wiersig wrote:

Can't Squid use the authentication data that windows provides? because the user is already logged in in the network, and even windoze sends login/password data, or doesn't it?
No, it doesn't. AFAIK windows send an authentication hash, which you can verify against your Domain Controller, but never sends username/ password pairs. The hash is equivalent security-wise.
I've seen an auth-module for squid which authenticates against DCs. It came with the source tarball and i've digged up this webpage http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-23.html#ss23.5
