[squid-users] Fording NTLM auth to Parent server

Hi Folks,

I was recently asked to put some transparent authentication on our
corporate web access.

As the server that does the authentication and access log job is off
site, it has been decided to put a Squid proxy server beetween the
clients this proxy to have some site local cache.

Below is the setup I try to achieve:

Client ---> Squid ---> NTLM enabled proxy  ---> Internet

Trying to set this up, i found that it was not possible to simply pass
the auth info from the client to the NTLM enabled parent proxy (like
with login=PASS option)

I tried using cntlmd or ntlmaps , but these would only proxy the
authentication mechanism as one user, so the parent proxy would log
all requests as coming from one unic user.

I was wondering if there was any way, simple or not, to get squid
forwarding auth info without having authentications requests on the
end-user side?

Thanks for your help.
