editing the squid/etc/squid.conf file in the installation directory and modifying the label

http_port. The squid/etc/squid.conf file allows you to configure many aspects of SQUID’s

operation. We recommend that you read it thoroughly and that you adjust it to your

requirements. Once OPTENET has been started you must configure your network

browsers so that they use SQUID as a proxy and this way the filtering can be carried out.

With the default installation in SQUID mode, SQUID does not recognise users. To

configure Squid with the user recognition option you must edit the squid/etc/squid.conf

file, change the auth_param tag with the authentication you require, add an entry in the

ACL (access control lists) and allow this entry in the access, For example, if you wan to

used basic authentication using a flat text file of users and passwords you have to add the

following lines to the configuration file:

auth_param basic program /usr/local/optenet/squid/libexec/ncsa_auth /usr/local/optenet/squid/etc/passwd

auth_param basic children 5

auth_param basic realm OPTENET Server

auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours

acl password proxy_auth REQUIRED

http_access allow password

http_access deny all

From this moment, the first time each user wants to access the Internet via the proxy, he

or she will be asked for identification (username - password) to be able to use the

Internet. This username can be used later when forming rules with OPTENET. By default,

no user is defined. We can create a user using the Perl script located in the

tools/adduser.pl directory in the installation directory, in the following way:

perl adduser.pl usuario password fichero_password

for example:

# perl adduser.pl luis clave_luis ../squid/etc/passwd

1 2 ... 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 ... 120 121
