No... this is not correct per IT security policy:

You can turn off the squid proxy and power off it after the action is completed.
There is also an option to tunnel via ssh.

Hope that helps

An employee cannot bypass security using a proxy at a major bank as an employee to bypass access controls set up by the bank without being in violation of internal bank policies.

mohtashims must follow his bank's IT security policies and not "turn on proxies" or do anything to bypass security without working with his supervisor and his IT security team to insure he has his organizations permission to do so.

When "you" are a system admin on a platform, you must follow company policy. If mohtashims does not have network access; he also may not have permission to install outside software.

I have worked as a system admin and also in IT security at a number of banks and other organizations with a similar risk management profile. Most of these organizations do not permit employees to go to the web, download and install tools from the Internet. This is why they block developers and system admins from access.

We are not here at unix.com to advise anyone to break their company IT security policies, directly or indirectly. We are here to advise them NOT to break their company rules and policies.

mohtashims should go to his IT security staff and his supervisor and find a way under banking IT security policies to install the software he wishes to install at his work.

pwd_strengthd

pwd_strengthd(1m)														 pwd_strengthd(1m)

NAME

       pwd_strengthd - The sample Password Management Server

SYNOPSIS

       pwd_strengthd [+/-all[_spaces]] [+/-alp[ha_num]]
       [-c[ache_size]] size [-d[ebug]]
       [-m[in_len]] pwd_min_len [-t[imeout]] minutes
       [-v[erbose]]

OPTIONS

       Allow  passwords  to be all spaces. If this option is not set, the effective registry policy is used.  Disallow passwords to be all spaces.
       If this option is not set, the effective registry policy is used.  Allow passwords to consist only  of  alphanumeric  characters.  If  this
       option is not set, the effective registry policy is used.  Disallow passwords to consist only of alphanumeric characters. If this option is
       not set, the effective registry policy is used.	Specify the number of hash buckets in the password cache. The password cache  is  used	to
       store  generated passwords which are retrieved when the password is strength checked. The password cache is a hash table with a linked list
       for collisions. The size should be set to a reasonable value based on how large the cache will be on average.  The  default  value  if  not
       specified  is  100.  Run in the foreground. Log messages are written to standard output.  Specify the minimum length of a password. If this
       option is not set, the effective registry policy is used.  Specify the time, in minutes, that  generated  passwords  remain  in	the  cache
       before  they are deleted from memory. If this option is not specified, the default time is 30 minutes.  Runs in verbose mode. More detailed
       messages are sent to the logfile $DCELOCAL/var/security/pwd_strengthd.log.  (Use of this option is recommended.)

DESCRIPTION

       DESCRIPTION

       pwd_strengthd is a sample Password Management Server. It exports the rsec_pwd_mgmt application programming interface.

       pwd_strengthd generates passwords and strength-checks them. It enforces	the  security  registry  policy  for  password	strength-checking.
       Administrators can override the security registry policy via the command-line options (alpha_num, all_spaces, min_len.)

       Administrators can subject principals to password-strength and -generation policies by attaching the following ERAs: Specifies the password
       management policy the user must conform to when selecting passwords.  Specifies information required in order to connect  to  the  password
       management server.

       See the OSF DCE Administrator's Guide -- Core Services for more information and examples.  You may want to enhance pwd_strengthd to support
       your site's policies for password strength and generation.
