Hello,

Unfortunately there was no suggestions from sun-managers list.
So I contacted Sun. It took them quite some time to come back
and say that there was no way of authenticating the user based
on passwords on the Netra Proxy Cache Server.

It is quite a disappointment for a fairly recent product
from Sun. I am afraid we'll have to drop the software at least,
and go for another..
