Hi, I'm playing with squid-2.4.6-2 on a 3.0/stable machine and am having problems with the user authentication bit. My authentication side of the httpd.conf has:
-- snip -- acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl localnetwork proxy_auth 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 acl localusers proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access deny !localnetwork http_access allow localusers http_access allow localnetwork http_access deny all proxy_auth_realm Squid proxy-caching web server authenticate_program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/passwd.squid #authenticate_program /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth #authenticate_program /tmp/test.sh -- /snip -- My squid dialog box pops up asking for username and password, I fill this in (using ncsa_auth with /etc/passwd.squid with htpasswd -d generated passwords) and the box just pops up again, nothing in any logs regarding this. When I use ncsa_auth from the commandline with "username password" i get the OK so all is well there. I've tried the same with pam_auth, and it also just pops up again in the browser as-if my password is wrong, yet again - if I run it from the commandline, it's happy. And yes, I have checked permissions of the /etc/passwd.squid, it is only readable to the squid user (proxy), I've tried changing this to a+rw out of desperateness but it's still acting the same way (: I've also made a simple shell script in /tmp which prints $@ for me to another file, squid executes this but passes nothing as a argument, i've put a 'read' line in the script and passed that towards a file aswell and also got nothing?! -- snip -- #!/bin/bash # while true ; do echo I was passed $@ > /tmp/test.out read vars echo I was also passed $vars >> /tmp/test.out echo OK done -- /snip -- Output: -- snip -- I was passed -- /snip -- So, it does not get to filling in the read line bit?! I've searched all I could online and the only real problem is with permissions of the passwd file - which I know is not a problem. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks, Francois Botha Snr.
