Hello,
I have been trying to authenticate users using a 'Digest Authentication' scheme but have not had success. I have been unable to find some communication where this is described, though there are emails listing some problems and many indicating that this may not be possible, possibly because of the environment.
Is digest authentication is possible in the following environment.
1. We are using squid version 2.5 Stable 3 on a Redhat 9 server (and are happy to upgrade to any other suitable version).
2. We wish to authenticate using an independent DIGEST scheme; the equivalent of 'ncsa_auth', because the users are not already centrally authenticated. We wish to add the users and passwords to the Linux box ONLY FOR SQUID; the users are not Linux OS users.
If the answer to the above is yes, the queries are:
1. What is the version of squid where this is possible?
2. What is the authentication program and is it part of the '/usr/lib/squid/' directory or does it have to be separately compiled.
3. What is the name of the program which will create the password file and where is it located.
Thank you for your help.
Yours sincerely,
Glenn Baptista
