Hey everyone.
I'm trying to get a minimal forward proxy with authentication set up. I
have the following config (purposely kept as minimal as possible) and
have followed these steps -
https://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Authenticate/
<https://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Authenticate/>
squid.conf ---
auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/basic_ncsa_auth
/etc/squid/passwords auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic
credentialsttl 1 minute acl CONNECT method CONNECT acl auth proxy_auth
REQUIRED http_port 3128 http_access deny !auth http_access allow auth
http_access deny all
---
However, no matter what I do I always get a 407 Proxy Authentication
Required response from the proxy. I've been testing with "curl -v -U
<usernamen>:<password> -x localhost:3128 <url>" I must be missing
something very simple so what am I doing wrong?
The config above is correct. So whatever the issue, it is not Squid.
I would start with a check to see if the login you are testing with is
correctly encoded in the passwords file.
This command line should tell you that:
echo "username password" | \
/usr/lib/squid/basic_ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwords
