Re: [squid-users] --> Authenticator development

[Alex Carlos Braga Ant�o]

I made a simple one, to always return OK, I called null_auth.sh, but 
there's a little problem: when I kill -15 squid, it cannot kill my 
authenticators.
Does squid send some caracter, or string to it to make it die ?

Here is the code:
------------
#/bin/ksh
while true
do
   read usuario
   echo OK
done
------------
Thanks...

When can I find some docs about how to do an Authenticator ?
   

The authenticator interface is documented in the auth_param documentation 
in squid.conf.default, and also referenced in the FAQ.

The exact details varies with the authentication scheme used (basic / NTLM 
/ Digest), but I assume you are planning on writing a authenticator for 
the basic authentication sheme: 

from "auth_param basic program" documentation:

       Such a  program reads a line containing "username password" and replies
       "OK" or "ERR" in an endless loop.
this is really all there is to it..
