Re: [squid-users] Digest Authentication

Hello Henrik,

Thank you for your assistance. './configure --enable-auth=digest
--enable-digest-auth-helpers' solved the problem like you suggested. So
I now have squid 2.5 Stable 7 working with an unencrypted password file
using the digest scheme.

name:password.

Going forward one last step, you had suggested that the digest
authentication helper shipped with version 3 used encrypted passwords
created by 'htdigest'.

I compiled version 3 like before and copied the 'digest_pw_auth' program
into the ../libexec directory.
I included the realm statement in squid.conf to read 'Test'
I created the password file using
htdigest .../passwd Test userName

I am unable to get it to authenticate using the encrypted file. If I
change the password file to store
name:password
like before, it works fine.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks once again for your assistance

Warm regards

Glenn Baptista
