RE: [squid-users] How to configure authentication?

Pandel,

How are you?

You can use either NCSA/Samba or LDAP authentication for to access the proxy
through
user authentication.
The following is the NCSA auth procedure.

Please add following lines into /etc/squid.conf

#------please add following lines after icp_port (some number)
auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/password
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm Tell me your user name and password
auth_param basic credentialsttl 30 minutes
-------------------------------------------------------------------
#-Please add following line before any http_access starts
------------------------------------------------------------------
acl authentic proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow authentic
#-------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Please use

/usr/bin/htpasswd -c /etc/squid/password user-id passwd
for to add the user and passwd to NCSA database.

Please stop/start the squid daemon after added above things.

/etc/init.d squid stop
/etc/init.d squid start

Please letme know,If you have any questions or concerns.
Best of Luck.

Thanks,
Srinivas
