Hello everybody, I'm trying to run a small Squid proxy server on my home network and I would like to use authentication on it. I decided to start by using the basic authentication method and maybe later i'd like to switch to MySQL. Now the problem is this: my proxy never asks users for authentication. I added the following lines to my /etc/squid/squid.conf auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwd auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy server by maffo auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours and finally I proceeded to create the password files issuing the following command (as root): htpasswd -c /etc/squid/passwd test (just to create a test user) and i gave him the password 'test'. Now, the passwd file is correctly populated but Squid still doesn't ask for user/password. If I try to run "/usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwd" and send in input 'test:test' it always return ERR. Can anybody help me please?
