RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Due to an upstream patch, which renamed the HTTP header controlling persistent connections from "Proxy-Connection" to "Connection", the NTLM pass-through authentication does not work, thus preventing login. This update introduces the new "http10" option to the squid.conf file, which can be used to enable the change in the patch. This option is set to "off" by default. When set to "on", the NTLM pass-through authentication works properly, thus allowing login attempts to succeed.

Comment 11 Pierre Filippone 2013-01-08 07:57:47 UTC 
I installed squid-3.1.10-9.el6_3, set "http10" to on and can confirm that this patch solved our NTLM authentication issues. 

Nevertheless I think it breaks other things. We recently had some calls regarding blocked access to certain web sites caused by invalid HTTP requests. I examined the header of the outgoing HTTP requests and noticed that a "Proxy-Connection: keep-alive" header is sent to the web server. 

When I disable the "http10" option, a correct "Connection: keep-alive" header is sent and the access is not blocked anymore. 

As far as I understand the "Proxy-Connection: keep-alive" header should never be sent to web servers.

Could you provide a reproducer or tcpdump from customer? (In reply to comment #11)
