authentication Squid

[IAK Tanoli]

ncsa_auth program can be used to integrate with squid
for authentication purpose.

path for ncsa_auth:
/usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth

command for making password file:
htpasswd /etc/squid/password foo
enter password:<for foo user>

then set permission to password file as 644


In SQUID
**********
TAG: authenticate_program
Default: authenticate_program /usr/bin/ncsa_auth
/usr/etc/passwd

Change it to: 

authenticate_program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth
/etc/squid/password

Then add the ACL
acl auth proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow mynetwork auth

Limitations of proxy_auth type are we can only use acl
type proxt_auth once in a squid and we cannot use
transparent proxy if we are using proxy_auth.
