Hi Luis,

In order to help you, I would like to know more about:-
1) Your permissions( acl settings and http_access settings).
2) While creating the digest password, did you specify the same realm
"Linux-Squid-Proxy", which is mentioned in your settings ??
3) Did you try for any other access methods, for eg say basic auth ??
Was it working fine when basic auth was enabled ??

Thanks and Regards,
Karandeep Malik
