Hello Henrik,

Thank you for your assistance. './configure --enable-auth=digest --enable-digest-auth-helpers' solved the problem like you suggested. So I now have squid 2.5 Stable 7 working with an unencrypted password file using the digest scheme.

name:password.

Going forward one last step, you had suggested that the digest authentication helper shipped with version 3 used encrypted passwords created by 'htdigest'.

I compiled version 3 like before and copied the 'digest_pw_auth' program into the ../libexec directory.
I included the realm statement in squid.conf to read 'Test'
I created the password file using
htdigest .../passwd Test userName


I am unable to get it to authenticate using the encrypted file. If I change the password file to store
name:password
like before, it works fine.


What am I doing wrong?

Thanks once again for your assistance

Warm regards

Glenn Baptista

Hello Henrik,

Thanks very much for your help. I was not successful in being able to do digest authentication. Following are details of what I did. Can you please help me overcome the problem which is reported by squid as a 'Parsing error'

[EMAIL PROTECTED] sbin]# ./squid
2004/12/14 11:10:34| Parsing Config File: Unknown authentication scheme 'digest'.


Your Squid is not built with support for the digest authentication scheme.

Rebuild Squid with the digest authentication scheme enabled (./configure --help)

auth scheme = authentication types supported by Squid

auth helpers = backend helpers, specific to each scheme

Regards
Henrik
