My company's use of the Squid proxy server is very limited, but it
works great. As a result, this probably will come under the heading of a "Newbie" question. There are three classes of users; The Corporate users, who are not attached to the Proxy, System Users who can gain complete access via a Username and Password and Restricted users, who can access a list of allowed sites. If the Restricted users attempt to access a URL that is not on the allowed list, Squid prompts for a Username and Password. At this point, a System User must unlock the browser so the Restricted user can gain complete access. While this is (I admit) a very simplistic use of Squid, it works perfectly for our application. Here is the issue. We would like to allow some URL's to Restricted Users that gather their content from other URL's that are not from the originating site. For example, Mapquest and Google Maps, which the Restricted Users need to do their jobs. Both Mapquest and Google Maps are on the allowed list, however these sites always prompt for a Username and Password after they have loaded some of the page. The URL's these sites access are not on the Allowed List. Since these URL's can change fairly regularly, I am looking for a way to allow these types of URL's to the Restricted Users no matter what they are, as long as they are part of the allowed site. I'm sure there is an easy answer for this issue, but I haven't been able to find it in the documentation. Please allow me to thank you in advance for any insight the Group may provide. JCMAC |
