There are several authentication helpers, squid can work with. I this guide we will set up ncsa_auth helper.
Install squid if you haven't it installed yet:
yum install squid
If there is any problem with installing squid - install EPEL repo:
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm sudo rpm -Uvh remi-release-6*.rpm epel-release-6*.rpm
Enable the remi repository by opening file /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo and set enabled=1
name=Les RPM de remi pour Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch #baseurl=http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/$releasever/remi/$basearch/ mirrorlist=http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/$releasever/remi/mirror enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi failovermethod=priority
Now when EPEL is installed you can install squid as shown above.
Before setting up the authentication, test basic squid functionality. It has to work without requiring authorization.
Create user:
htpasswd /etc/squid/passwd user1
This command creates file passwd. In this file will be stored NCSA users and passwords.
Output:
New password: Re-type new password: Adding password for user user1
If htpasswd command is not recognized, make sure you have httpd installed:
yum install httpd
Make sure squid can read /etc/squid/passwd:
chmod o+r /etc/squid/passwd
