I have the following in the config: cache_peer upstream.parent parent 8080 7 login=PASS no-query default external_acl_type user_rewrite_type children=1 ttl=900 %LOGIN /opt/local/squid/bin/user_rewrite.pl acl user_rewrite external user_rewrite_type cache_peer_access upstream.parent allow user_rewrite But if I do an ACL debug I see: 2012/03/07 14:11:47.666| aclMatchExternal: "blymn": entry=@0, age=0 2012/03/07 14:11:47.666| aclMatchExternal: "blymn": queueing a call. 2012/03/07 14:11:47.666| aclMatchExternal: "blymn": return -1. 2012/03/07 14:11:47.667| aclMatchExternal: acl="user_rewrite_type" 2012/03/07 14:11:47.667| aclMatchExternal: user_rewrite_type("blymn") = lookup needed It seems like squid wants to call the external acl but it is not happening. user_rewrite.pl is in the right spot and contains: #!/usr/bin/perl # $|=1; open LOG,">/tmp/rewrite_log"; while (<STDIN>) { $username = $_; chomp $username; print LOG "Have username >$username<\n"; $username =~ s/^([A-Za-z]+)%5[cC]//; ($username, $blah) = split('@', $username); print LOG "returning OK user=$username password=special\n"; print "OK user=$username password=special\n"; } Nothing ever gets into /tmp/rewrite_log and doing an strace on the process shows no activity. -- Brett Lymn "Warning: The information contained in this email and any attached files is confidential to BAE Systems Australia.
