Thanks Henrik now my authentication pass properly when the squid working as proxy. I tried to use authentication when proxy working as reverse proxy and in acc mode. Again squid advertise for authentication and shows the uname and password menu but it doesn't accept the username and password. Username and passwords working properly when we use the squid as proxy but not in reverse mode. Did I miss any thing during compile or in configurations. My squid version is 2.5Stable4.

NCSA style password files are created with the htpasswd command. Depending on version you may need to use a option to tell htpasswd to use the crypt hash (newer versions default to Apache style MD5). If you really really want to authenticate against /etc/shadow then see the PAM helper for Squid. Don't forget to read the manuals. Regards Henrik
