NP: if you are on one of those OS who insist on overwriting squid.conf with the 270KB documentation file, please drop the comments. grep -v -E "^($|#)" squid.conf At a guess it means the DB could not be connected to, or you forgot about the --cond parameter default value. > > 2) Due to the above problem I configured an access control via htpasswd > using basic_ncsa_auth. > In this case, after the required credentials and the correct insertion squid > gives me access to the internet. > Now the question is: can I have the credentials expire after a certain time? > I tried to set credentialttl = 300 seconds, but spent the time with no > activity I do not receive a new login request. > The parameter credentialttl is designed for this purpose? Yes. If authentication is working properly you/user should only ever see one login at start and never again. The browser is constantly delivering updated/current credentials and Squid re-verifying those credentials via the helper whenever the TTL expires or they actually change. But none of that complexity is relevant to the user - they have not changed.
