Ta, Henrik. I have now completed my perl script and is working fine on squid. Now since I've set a lifetime (say 30 min) for each user, I want squid to invoke my script and check the HA1 value every 5 min (say) regardless of whether user was browsing or not. Is this possible or do I have to do something in my script itself?
I was thinking of changing these params. [ auth_param digest nonce_garbage_interval 5 minutes auth_param digest nonce_max_duration 5 minutes auth_param digest nonce_max_count 50 ] * I don't think these params will do anything for me?? [ authenticate_cache_garbage_interval 10 minutes authenticate_ttl 1 minute ] * authenticate_ttl expiry should invoke my script provided the user is not hammering the internet and not expiring 1 min. Probably I should change it to seconds. Am I correct, Henrik? Or is there any other param I can fine tune? Also, does squid support fancy error pages? I want fancy html style sheets etc to hook into existing error pages in /etc/squid/errors. Sorry this post is long. I'm designing a cyber kiosk.

If I have to return HA1, then I guess I should make up > some dummy HA1 if I want my auth to fail. ERR is correct if the username does not exists or otherwise does not have a H(A1) password hash. Will clarify this detail in the documentation for the next release. Regards Henrik
