Re: [SQU] proxy_auth

1) Are you using "transparent" caching? Authentication does not work with transparent caching.
2) If no to 1) do you get proimpted for a username and password by the browser?
3) If no to 2), then something eariler in your acl(s) & http_access lines is allowing or denying access before your htttp_access
allow password line.
4) If yes to 2) everything is setup correctly, except for the little issue that ncsa_auth takes htpasswd format files, not
/etc/passwd format. Follow the apache faq on setting up ncsa authentication, or use man htpasswd to find out more.
