Hello, it seems that my problem was caused by the extra line: > http_access deny utenti_tg24 Removing it resolved my problem, and the user can only go to the sites listed in the whitelist and nowhere else. No further annoying auth request popups. Now the conf look like: > acl tg24 url_regex "/etc/squid/whitelist_tg24" > http_access allow utenti_tg24 tg24 And now it works like a charm... I just had to add a couple of urls on the whitelist to make it work properly.

To get auth popups means they are not authenticated at all yet. Were they already authenticated something must have gone badly. Your config confirms that. Anybody visiting the whitelist gets through without authenticating at all. The instant they go anywhere else they are verified for authentication and the blacklist tested. To let people browse the web without auth popups is to remove auth completely, or to whitelist every site they need to visit. There seems to be somethign broken if the login box is popping up repeatedly. You might try auto-blacklisting anything not whitelisted which is referred to from the whitelist sites. Something like this just after the whitelist itself will prevent _any_ non-whitelisted link from a whitelisted page without involving auth: acl whiteRef referer_regex "/etc/squid/whitelist" http_access deny whiteRef Be careful though. If you make that an auto-allow you enable anybody on access the proxy by sending an easily forged header to you. You will also need to do something to let people click on actual wanted links on those whitelisted pages. > Here?s my configuration (squid.conf) snippet: > > ################################################################################################# > auth_param basic program /usr/lib64/squid/squid_ldap_auth -b "dc=server,dc=local" -f "uid=%s" -h 127.0.0.1 > auth_param basic children 10 > auth_param basic realm "Server Proxy Server" > auth_param basic credentialsttl 8 hours > > external_acl_type ldap_group %LOGIN /usr/lib64/squid/squid_ldap_group -b "ou=Groups,dc=server,dc=local" -f "(&(memberUid=%u)(cn=%g)(objectClass=posixGroup))" -h 127.0.0.1 -d > > acl utenti_tutti external ldap_group grp-proxy > acl utenti_tg24 external ldap_group grp-tg24 > > acl retelocale src 192.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 acl retelocale src 192.0.0.0/24 > acl whitelist dstdom_regex "/etc/squid/whitelist" > http_access allow retelocale whitelist > > acl autenticati proxy_auth REQUIRED > > acl blacklist dstdom_regex "/etc/squid/blacklist" > http_access deny utenti_tutti blacklist > http_access allow utenti_tutti > > acl tg24 url_regex "/etc/squid/whitelist_tg24" > http_access allow utenti_tg24 tg24 > http_access deny utenti_tg24 > ################################################################################################# > > Thank you very much Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE7 or 3.0.STABLE23 Current Beta Squid 3.1.0.16
