Hi everybody!!
I´ve installed apache on my squid box for testing cachemgr.cgi, but
when all is installed, I can't entry to cache manager, it ask for a
user and a password I don´t know, I've tried multiple users/passw but
always the same message:
"The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL:
cache_object://saturno.iipp.int/
Cache Access Denied.
Sorry, you are not currently allowed to request
cache_object://saturno.iipp.int/ from this cache until you have
authenticated yourself."
I've changed the entry on cachemgr.conf form "localhost" to
"saturno.iipp.int:3128" with no result
I've set "cachemgr_passwd password all" and tried it with users (root,
squid, admin, webmaster, manager, etc) and nothing
Make sure you allow manager access from more than localhost if you
intend to access from other machines. See 'http_access allow manager' in
squid.conf.
AFAIK the manager name is meaningless. I don't even have to provide one
to get into cachemgr.cgi. The password is the one you provide per the
last line you quoted above. With the exact line as you have it above
your password would be 'password' for all operations.
I left localhost in cachemgr.conf but added both the hostname and ip
address of the squid server to that file. You then need to specify one
of those entries on the cache host line of the login dialog. Either
should work.
