Re: [squid-users] acl user

Sorry, Henrik, I probably miss understood the following from the users
guide

Access Classes and Operators

There are two elements to access control: classes and operators. Classes
are defined with the acl squid.conf tag, while the names of the operators
vary: the most common operator used is http_access.

Classes. A class normally refers to a set of users. (A class can also refer
to a list of destination domains, filename extensions and more, but for now
let's start with the basics!). If you have 50 people that are allowed
Internet access, you could put all of their IP addresses in a list, and use
that list as a "class of IP addresses that have Internet access".

Operators. It's often useful to use one set of ACLs for ICP and another for
HTTP. This way you can apply different sets of rules for different
protocols; this comes in very useful when you have a number of peering
arrangements. Most ISP's do not want their caches to be SNMP-queried by all
of their customers: they do, however, want all their customers to have
access to browser access. In short, you want one set of acls to apply to
HTTP traffic, another to apply to SNMP - and that's exactly what you get.
For each protocol there is a different acl-operator, examples include the
http_access, icp_access and snmp_access tags. It's very important to note
that there is a not an ftp_access type. FTP requests are passed to the
cache using the HTTP format (it's just a different format URL that gets
sent to the cache server). The proto acl type (discussed shortly, with
examples!) allows you to deny access to the cache if it's FTP, HTTP, SSL
etc.

What operator type, where?

Squid does not have a concept of "operator types".

Squid does have proxy authentication, and you combine proxy
authentication acls just like any other acl types.

Please expand your question a bit.
