I successfully patched the source for squid 2.5, compiled, and installed
it. I happen to be using NCSA auth and am trying to get my CDMA phone to
proxy through my squid server.
What is the best way to create a proxy account with no password?
I used htpasswd in my tests.
I've tried htpasswd /etc/squid/squid_passwd my_cell_no
then Enter twice for the password.
No luck authenticating, so I edit the squid_passwd file and remove the
encrypted blank password. Still no connection.
Did you also install the patched ncsa_auth?
Am I creating the blank password wrong, or do I need to adjust my
squid.conf file?
Yes, as indicated in my message with the patch there is a new auth_param
basic parameter enabling the support of blank passwords. See
squid.conf.default after installing the patched Squid.

I have done all of the above (as far as I know) and still no luck.
Here is a brief screen capture of a recent config attempt per instructions
from the squid-cache web page:

What am I missing?
Thanks.
