Unfortunately it isn't the browsers. I have checked three users. All of
them have the problem only on the one proxy server with any account and
any browser (Mozilla, IE, Opera, Firebird). Interesting to know: lynx
accesses do work. But I swear that not all of us have changed our
setting on three different client workstations. It is something on the
server. I just don't know what. The password is correct. And IMHO the
Squid doesn't care about re-authentication because the browser sends the
credentials to the proxy with every request. But the problem is still
located at the one proxy. It queries an LDAP server which even works
well for the other cluster nodes. :(
