Hi there! I'm new to squid and i'm planning to use it with ncsa authentication on Fedora 9. I've installed the squid from rpm and it was runing successully with default configuration (without any changes). But when i try to change the configuration to use ncsa authentication it denied all access from other than localhost without even prompting any password to users. I thought the acl was the cause and i decided to simplify my configuration just to make sure that there is no "unwanted acl" my recent configuration (squid.conf) is: auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/dor auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours http_port 3128 acl users proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow users http_access deny all and it denied any access from other than localhost without prompting any password, but it prompt for password if accessed from locahost, and my user&password is working. Why it always by default deny anything from "outside-world".. is there any misconfiguration? FYI i am using squid 3.0.STABLE2 please help me and thx in advance redya
