Re: [squid-users] Squid Authentication help

authenticate_program /path/to/ncsa_auth /path/to/htpasswd_file
acl login proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access deny !login
or
http_access allow login
dependin on your taste and access rule set

Step by step:

1. Create a password file with the htpasswd command

2. Verify that ncsa_auth understands the fileformat used
   run "/path/to/ncsa_auth /path/to/htpasswd_file"
   type "username<space>password<enter>". If OK is returned then you are
set.

3. Configure Squid, and test it from a browser.

And note that proxy authentication cannot be used if you are
intercepting port 80 traffix. Proxy authentication can only be used when
the browser is CONFIGURED to use a proxy.

I have a working squid proxy but Id like to implement an authentication to it so that I could minimize the user of the internet. How can i make ncsa_auth work? it always pop up for the passwd and it seems that it wont accept my username and passwd. I create the passwd file in htpasswd " htpasswd -cd /pathto/passwd ", i restarted the squid also the httpd process maybe can help, but it wont. I customized the squid.conf only the authentication program, realm acl list, and it wont work, any can help me pls. maybe someone can send me a working conf file and also the step by step procedure how to make it work, thanks in advance.
