In ubuntu9.10, configure the Internet proxy (SQUID) that requires the user name and password)

1 install squid

Sudo apt-Get install squid

2. Install htpasswd (skip this step if Apache is installed)

(This is used to generate a password)

Sudo apt-Get install apache2-utils

Yes.

Sudo apt-Get install mini-HTTPd

3. Generate a password file

 Htpasswd-C/etc/squid/passwd user1

You will be asked to enter the user1 Password

4. Change the permission to ensure that squid can read the password file.

SudoChmod o + R/etc/squid/passwd

5. Modify squid. conf to add or modify it to the following figure.

Auth_param BASIC Program/usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth/etc/squid/passwd
Auth_param basic children 5
Auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching Web Server
Auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours
Auth_param basic casesensitive off

 

ACL ncsa_users proxy_auth required
Http_access allow ncsa_users 

6 restart squid

Sudo/etc/init. d/squid restart

Done!

If you do not have htpasswd, you do not want to install htpasswd. You can also run CP on another machine to obtain a password file.
