I want to use squid and dansguardign to filter by groups. It is working, sort of. Problem 1, after launching the web browser it takes a very long time (a minute or 2) before the authentication dialog pops up. This needs to be instant. What am I doing wrong? Once it does finally pop up, I can authenticate and dansguardian does assign the proper filtering groups. Problem 2, I would like anyone who fails to authenticate to be assigned a user creditials; default-user. How would I do this? Problem 3, Can I edit the text of the authentication dialog box? Below this point is my squid.conf file... http_port 3128 # acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? #Removed by Amos, suggested to speed up web sites using media #cache_mem 512 MB # May need to set lower if I run low on RAM #maximum_object_size_in_memory 4096 KB #Increased by Amos, suggested to speed up web sites using media #maximum_object_size 1 GB #cache_dir aufs /cache 500000 256 256 redirect_rewrites_host_header off cache_replacement_policy lru #auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/getpwnam_auth /etc/passwd # above may require this at the end -> /etc/passwd auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwd auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm blocker auth_param basic credentialsttl 12 hours auth_param basic casesensitive off #auth_param basic max_challenge_lifetime 2 minutes # above line fails acl ncsa_users proxy_auth REQUIRED acl all src all acl localnet src 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 0.0.0.0/8 acl Safe_ports port 80 81 443 210 119 70 21 1025-65535 acl SSL_Ports port 443 acl AUTH_users proxy_auth ant2ne xbox mandi #acl internalSite1 dstdomain eaplus.altonschools.org #acl internalSite2 dstdomain reports.altonschools.org acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_Ports http_access allow ncsa_users http_access allow AUTH_users #http_access allow reports_Printing #http_access allow internalSite1 #http_access allow internalSite2 http_access allow localnet http_access allow localhost http_access deny all icp_port 0 refresh_pattern \.jpg$ 3600 50% 60 refresh_pattern \.gif$ 3600 50% 60 refresh_pattern \.css$ 3600 50% 60 refresh_pattern \.js$ 3600 50% 60 refresh_pattern \.html$ 300 50% 10 refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 #access_log /var/log/squid/access.log squid visible_hostname BLOCKER -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/authentication-problems-tp3072735p3072735.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
