Hello, I have the apache which enables directory authentification. for example, I have this auth config for apache: in httpd.conf: 〈Directory /home/ftp/pub> Options Indexes AllowOverride AuthConfig order allow,deny allow from all 〈/Directory> in .htaccess: authname "shared files" authtype basic authuserfile /*/.password require valid-user When someone access apache's that directory, it will open a prompting window for inputing username and password. But, if I set a Squid reverse-proxy before apache, and when people access that same directory through squid, the prompting window will not be opened, people have no chance to input username and password.
Add "login=PASS" to your cache_peer line.
From http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/cfgman/cache_peer.html...
use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against the upstream proxy or in the case of a reverse proxy configuration, the origin web server. This will pass the users credentials as they are to the peer. This only works for the Basic HTTP authentication scheme.
I'm using squid3.0-stable13 and Linux with kernel 2.6. Please help. Thanks in advance. Regards.
