Sir, Im now trying to setup squid authentication in fedora 3. My squid was running ok, after i have configured its authentication, the problem is the username and password were not accepting on the login box. The error was: ########## ERROR Cache Access Denied -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While trying to retrieve the URL: http://chikka.com/ The following error was encountered: Cache Access Denied. Sorry, you are not currently allowed to request: http://chikka.com/from this cache until you have authenticated yourself. You need to use Netscape version 2.0 or greater, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, or an HTTP/1.1 compliant browser for this to work. Please contact the cache administrator if you have difficulties authenticating yourself or change your default password. ######## Although I create a username and password to "htpasswd /etc/squid/squid_passwd name password". The problem is the username and password was not accepted on the browser. My NCSA although was running. Why is it the username and password were not accepting on the login boxe???? Can you help me if there's something wrong from my config auth_param basic program /usr/libexec/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid_passwd acl name proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow name Thanks, Adam On 4/26/05, Wennie V.
