-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I have a question regarding proxy_auth, I hope you guys can point me to where I am doing things wrong. My issue is, if I use the following: acl password proxy_auth /usr/local/squid/etc/limited http_access deny password and /usr/local/squid/etc/limited contains the value "kenneth" (without the quotes"), I am still allowed http access if i type kenneth as my user name. but if i use: acl password proxy_auth kenneth http_access deny password it works, user kenneth is denied http access. So, is it possible for proxy_auth to get the username on a file? Below is my complete squid.conf - --- cache_peer xx.xx.xx.xx parent 8080 0 no-query proxy-only default http_port 3128 cache_effective_user squid cache_effective_group squid cache_mgr postmaster@xxxxxxx cache_dir null /tmp auth_param basic program /usr/local/squid/libexec/ncsa_auth /usr/local/squid/etc/squidusers auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm DEVELOPMENT SERVER [ >:) ] auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours acl password proxy_auth /usr/local/squid/etc/limited acl test src 10.87.4.2/255.255.255.255 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 563 acl Safe_ports port 80 acl Safe_ports port 21 acl Safe_ports port 443 563 acl Safe_ports port 70 acl Safe_ports port 210 acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 acl Safe_ports port 280 acl Safe_ports port 488 acl Safe_ports port 591 acl Safe_ports port 777 acl CONNECT method CONNECT never_direct allow all http_access deny password http_access allow all - -- thanks and best regards, - -- Kenneth P.
