I am having a quick one here.
I consultant set up my squid to allow internet access through just two users: Staff and Student.
I now want to: i) Change the passwords for the above User names. ii) Move onto to give individual username/passwords scheme for the various users.
How can i do this quickly and simply?
First identify the authentication mechanism from your squid.conf. Most likely ncsa_auth is used. Look for "auth_param" (or "authenicator_program" in older versions).
If ncsa_auth is used then the argument given to ncsa_auth is the password file used by your Squid. This password file is maintained with the htpasswd command from Apache.
