I have set up a Squid proxy on my Linode for use when I am away from home and need to use a proxy. In order to stop anyone being able to use it I have set up authorization.

If I use basic authorization it all works correctly. I get prompted to enter my user name and password and I can start browsing. However, I want to set up digest authentication, so my password isn't transmitted in plain text.

When I enable digest authorization, I get prompted to enter my credentials, which are accepted. The browser then keeps contacting the site, but nothing is displayed. In my squid logs I see:

1246527762.271 15 217.146.125.41 TCP_DENIED/407 1796 GET http://thetimes.co.uk/ ian NONE/- text/html 1246527762.894 19 217.146.125.41 TCP_DENIED/407 1796 GET http://thetimes.co.uk/ ian NONE/- text/html 1246527763.553 21 217.146.125.41 TCP_DENIED/407 1796 GET http://thetimes.co.uk/ ian NONE/- text/html

Here is the relevant bit of squid.conf:


auth_param digest program /usr/lib/squid/digest_pw_auth -c /etc/squid/htdigest.squid
auth_param digest children 5
auth_param digest realm "Squid Proxy Server"
auth_param digest nonce_garbage_interval 5 minutes
auth_param digest nonce_max_duration 30 minutes
auth_param digest nonce_max_count 50
acl digest_users proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow digest_users

I am using the version of Squid that comes with Debian Lenny.

There are two that come with Lenny.

"squid -v" or "dpkg --list | grep squid" will say which.

I suspect there is a problem either with the browser support or the digest helper.
