basic_ncsa_auth(8)					      System Manager's Manual						basic_ncsa_auth(8)

NAME

       basic_ncsa_auth - NCSA httpd-style password file authentication helper for Squid

SYNOPSIS

       basic_ncsa_auth passwd file

DESCRIPTION

       basic_ncsa_auth	allows	Squid  to  read  and authenticate user and password information from an NCSA/Apache httpd-style password file when
       using basic HTTP authentication.

       This password file can be manipulated using htpasswd.

       This authenticator accepts:  * Blowfish - for passwords 72 characters or less in length	* SHA256 - with  salting  and  magic  strings	 *
       SHA512 - with salting and magic strings	* MD5 - with optional salt and magic strings  * DES - for passwords 8 characters or less in length
       NOTE: Blowfish and SHA algorithms require system-specific support.

OPTIONS

       The only parameter is the password file.  It must have permissions to be read by the user that Squid is running as.

CONFIGURATION

	      basic_ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid.pass

       basic_ncsa_auth must have access to the password file to be executed.

KNOWN ISSUES

       DES functionality (used by htpasswd by default) silently truncates passwords to 8 characters.  Allowing login with password values  shorter
       than the one desired.  This authenticator will reject login with long passwords when using DES.
