basic_ncsa_auth(8) System Manager's Manual basic_ncsa_auth(8)NAMEbasic_ncsa_auth - NCSA httpd-style password file authentication helper for SquidSYNOPSISbasic_ncsa_auth passwd fileDESCRIPTIONbasic_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.OPTIONSThe only parameter is the password file. It must have permissions to be read by the user that Squid is running as.CONFIGURATIONbasic_ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid.pass basic_ncsa_auth must have access to the password file to be executed.KNOWN ISSUESDES 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.AUTHORThis manual was written by Amos Jeffries <amosjeffries@squid-cache.org> Based on original documentation by Rodrigo Rubira Branco <rrbranco@br.ibm.com>COPYRIGHTThis file is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
