No progress. I rebuilt squid (3.5.20), incl. basic-auth, but still get The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://my_local_domain.lan:3128/squid-internal-mgr/info Access Denied. although I have in squid.conf (just for testing): ... http_access deny connect !ssl_ports http_access allow all manager cachemgr_passwd my_passwd all ... This should allow everybody to use the cachemgr, correct ? When running the cachemgr.cgi, the page to enter the password shows up, but then also "Access denied". One more speciality of my environment: The client, running "http://my_local_domain.lan:3128/squid-internal-mgr/info" sits on the other side of a captive portal (opposite side of squid). Captive portal has its _private_ IP-Pool. So, the IP trying to access squid, does _not_ show up when running simple "arp" command on the squid-machine. squid and captive portal run on same box. In case there is some hidden access control within squid, based on the IP of the client, this_might_ fail. Any hint, which debug options to set in squid.conf, for more detailed info ? -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/cachemgr-cgi-on-embedded-system-tp4678665p4678682.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
