Re: [squid-users] auth question

No, that is transparent interception.

accelerator mode is when Squid is infront of your servers.

In the view of Squid the two is quite similar and mostly the same
configuration directives is used in squid.conf, but what you can or can
not do in terms of HTTP is very different.

A transparent interception proxy CAN NOT do proxy authentication.

A reverse proxy/accelerator can do authentication on behalf of your
servers.
