No Henrik, I'm pretty sure the user is typing correctly. Funny characters are being passed on to my external authenticator. if I restart squid then it works fine. Problem is intermittent
My parameters are : auth_param basic program /etc/squid/kiosk/extauth.plx basic auth_param basic realm Kiosk Basic Authentication auth_param basic children 3 auth_param basic credentialsttl 5 minutes authenticate_ip_ttl 30 minutes authenticate_ttl 30 minutes acl user_passwords proxy_auth REQUIRED acl concurrent_clients max_user_ip -s 1 http_access allow user_passwords !concurrent_clients I think the last change to my config was to set up max_user_ip. Is there any way to debug this by increasing the squid logging? All my clients have static IP addresses and I gie them a username and password which is valid for 30 min (my ext auth prints ERR and kicks them out after 30 min) Thanks Prash On Thu, 2004-04-22 at 01:18, Henrik Nordstrom wrote: > On 21 Apr 2004, Prashant Kumar wrote: > > > I've an external basic authenticator written in perl but squid is > > sometimes passing garbage as user to my script.
