Re: Newbie question - proxy authentication and user logs

Venkatesh,

        Hi. Firstly, try running `/usr/bin/ncsa_auth /etc/squidusers' from
the command line. Then enter a username and password. A valid input will
return `OK', else `ERR'.

        Ok, once this is working fine, replace the line

-----------
acl all_users user REQUIRED
http_access allow all_users
-----------

to
----------
acl password proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow password
----------

        Hope this helps.

        Looks like you are from India. Me too !!! I live in Bombay. R u in
anyway connected to PCQuest ?

Bye,

Kunal
