| Tag Name | authenticate_children |
| Usage | authenticate_children number |
Description
The number of authenticator processes to spawn (default 5).
| Default | authenticate_children 5 |
Caution
If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to process aback log of usercode/password verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of authenticator processes.
