Linksys DSL Router with 4 ports and IE SSL login

[dcarp...@gracon.com]

Hi,

I have a Linksys DSL router (NAT device) with 4 ports and a internet
port at a remote office. I have the Bordermanager server running proxy on
both the private and public internet interfaces. At the remote office, I
have 4 computers, and I have each IE pointing to the Bordermanager public
interface IP.

However, if one computer do the IE/Bordermanager SSL login, the other
computers do not need to perform IE SSL login in order to browse the web.

Help,
Dean

Proxy Authentication works by associating an IP address to a user name.
If all the users are coming to the proxy via a NAT hop, they will all
appear to be from the same address, and proxy will think they are the
same user.

You need to eliminate the NAT hop, or use Terminal Server
Authentication, where SSL Login is used, and the authentication is
tracked by a session cookie in each browser.
