Re: Dynamic ACL with local auth

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey Albert,

It's preferable to use an external ACL compared to reloading the squid conf in general.
It will probably require to use external acl helper with the authenticated username as a detail which is being sent to the helper.
Let's take an example.org squid.conf for the "project".
On what ports squid listens? 80 and 443?
It's a reverse proxy or a forward proxy which is defined in the client browser?

An "auto" reload of squid can be done using couple of systemd triggers.
If it's enough for you I can try to research how it can be done and we will go on from there.
If you wish to choose the "dark" path of external_acl helper development I will also be happy to try and
assist you in my spare time (which is not a lot these days).

Eliezer

Ok. I will check that.

But those this reload need a restart of the service ?

Well..pretty simple task I need to build a squid server to allow/deny
people access to some data (website) because those website don't support
authentication. 

But the rule of access “allow/deny” are manage in other place through
another application. 

So the goal is to have some «thing» who going to retrieve the «permissions»
of the user and apply the ACL on squid. 

It's not «ultra dynamic» the modification of the permissions will occur
time to time. So even a reload will do.....if the reload don't need a
shutdown of squid. 

Thanks. 

Regards
