STEP 1: Create custom template directory

[root@server root]# mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf [root@server root]# cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf

---

STEP 2:  Create Template

Edit 15AuthProgramNCSA with your favorite text editor

{ return "" unless ( ($squid{RequireAuth} || "no") eq "ncsa"); $OUT .= " auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/proxyusers auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm squid proxy server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours auth_param basic casesensitive off ";}

Edit 15AuthProgramPamAuth with your favorite text editor

{ return "" unless ( ($squid{RequireAuth} || "no") eq "pam"); $OUT .= " auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm squid proxy server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours auth_param basic casesensitive off ";}

Edit 20ACL05ProxyAuth with your favorite text editor

{ return "acl requireauth proxy_auth REQUIRED" if (defined $squid{RequireAuth} && $squid{RequireAuth} =~ /(ncsa|pam)/); }

Edit 39http_access00pwdprotect with your favorite text editor

{ return "http_access allow requireauth" if (defined $squid{RequireAuth} && $squid{RequireAuth} =~ /(ncsa|pam)/); }

---

STEP 3:  If you want to use PAM authentification

[root@server root]# db configuration setprop squid RequireAuth pam [root@server root]# expand-template /etc/squid/squid.conf [root@server root]# service squid restart

---

STEP 3:  If you want to use NCSA authentification

[root@server root]# db configuration setprop squid RequireAuth ncsa [root@server root]# expand-template /etc/squid/squid.conf [root@server root]# service squid restart

Create user authentification file

[root@server root]# touch /etc/proxyusers [root@server root]# htpasswd -b /etc/proxyusers [name] [password]

Adapt [name] and [password] for your need, you can add as many user as you want

You can test it with the following command

[root@server root]# /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/proxyusers

At the prompt type
[name] [passzord]
you should have response ERR or OK
