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.

NAME

       ext_wbinfo_group_acl - external ACL helper for Squid to verify NT Domain group membership using wbinfo.

SYNOPSIS

       ext_wbinfo_group_acl [-dh]

DESCRIPTION

       ext_wbinfo_group_acl is an installed executable script.	It uses wbinfo from Samba to lookup group membership of logged in users.

       This helper must be used in with an authentication scheme (typically Basic or NTLM) based on Windows NT/2000 domain users.

       It reads from the standard input the domain username and a list of groups and tries to match each against the groups membership of the
       specified username.

OPTIONS

	       -d Write debug info to stderr.
	       -h Print the help.
	       -K downgrade Kerberos credentials to NTLM.

CONFIGURATION

	       external_acl_type wbinfo_check %LOGIN /path/to/ext_wbinfo_group_acl
	       acl allowed_group external wbinfo_check Group1 Group2
	       http_access allow allowed_group

       If the local perl interpreter is in a unusual location it may need to be added:

	       external_acl_type wbinfo_check %LOGIN /path/to/perl /path/to/ext_wbinfo_group_acl
