I have configured the squid-2.5.STABLE6-3 with squidGuard-1.3 on RHEL4. The service is getting started successfully.

The problem is as follows :

I have typed the proxy id addr. & port in the proxy settings in browser. Now whenever i am typeing any url in browser, i have to enter a valid user-name and password for the proxy server. Here I am typeing the correct and valid password for the proxy but i am getting the same screen i.e.( asking the user-name and password ). This process continues 3 times and then a error page throws error as "ERROR : Cache Access Denied".

Can anybody please guide me in this regard ?

For authentication, I have used following lines in squid.conf

"auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours".

The squidGaurd.conf file is as follows :

# CONFIG FILE FOR SQUIDGUARD
#

dbhome /usr/local/squidGuard/db
logdir /usr/local/squidGuard/log

dest porn {
domainlist BL/porn/domains
urllist BL/porn/urls
redirect http://mail.nic.in/
# redirect http://[redirectedwebsite]/
}

acl {

default {
pass !porn all
redirect http://mail.nic.in/
#redirect http://[redirectedwebsite]/
}
}


Kindly guide me in this regard.

This page http://www.opensourcehowto.org/how-t...ntication.html has more info. You're missing the case-insensitive line, but you may not want that. There are other goodies you have to shove in there, too, that are outlined on that page.

Thanks for pointing me to the site opensourcehowto.org.

My problem is solved now.

Thanks for the kind co-operation.
