4 basic_ncsa_auth \- NCSA httpd-style password file authentication helper for Squid
7 .if !'po4a'hide' .B basic_ncsa_auth
12 allows Squid to read and authenticate user and password information from an NCSA/Apache
13 httpd\-style password file when using basic HTTP authentication.
15 This password file can be manipulated using
19 This authenticator accepts:
21 * Blowfish - for passwords 72 characters or less in length
23 * SHA256 - with salting and magic strings
25 * SHA512 - with salting and magic strings
27 * MD5 - with optional salt and magic strings
29 * DES - for passwords 8 characters or less in length
31 NOTE: Blowfish and SHA algorithms require system-specific support.
34 The only parameter is the password file.
35 It must have permissions to be read by the user that Squid is running as.
39 .if !'po4a'hide' .B basic_ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid.pass
43 must have access to the password file to be executed.
47 DES functionality (used by htpasswd by default) silently truncates passwords to 8 characters.
48 Allowing login with password values shorter than the one desired.
49 This authenticator will reject login with long passwords when using DES.
