Installation#2. Why doesn the Ident method of authentication for multiple filter groups seem to work in transparent-intercepting configurations?

0

Ident authentication does work in both explicit-proxy and transparent-intercepting configurations. Ident authentication can sometimes be a bit tricky to install and configure, and so contribute to the impression that it simply doesn’t work. For example, even one internal network infrastructure component that doesn’t pass network traffic via port 113 can cripple Ident authentication. If you’re having trouble with Ident authentication, it may help to look at the Ident instructions in the doc wiki or posting #885 in the mailing list archives.
