Hi List,

I want to bind an ip address to a username with squid by using squid password file.

I am using ncsa_auth programme. Below are line that I have added to squid.conf file.

auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid_passwd auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours auth_param basic casesensitive off

acl ncsa_users proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow ncsa_users

We are currently browsing internet with usernames and passwords. But the problem is a user can access internet from all the workstation with his username and password. I do not need it. I only want a user to access internet from his machine.

Solution to that is binding an ip address to an username. Then, A user can access internet from that particular ip.

I searche a lot from the internet. I found some info. I tried a lot. But I still have not been able to solve this issue.

Some info I found from the Internet says perl script can do it.

pls see below ulrs for it.

http://iits.uap.edu.ph/~jpira/footnotes/squid.html

http://www.visolve.com/squid/squid30/externalsupport.php

Pls note that I am not a programmer. So I do not know any perl nor do I know any python stuff.

So I do not want to go with above urls.

But, I found an easy method from squid list. Pls see below URLS .

http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200208/0033.html

http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200208/0029.html

These above URLS are fine for me. The above URLS say,

put the IP add in squid passwd

I did it. Pls see below for my squid_passwd file.

[root@worldnet ~]# cat /etc/squid/squid_passwd indunil:TeiAQ3uqXDQNg:192.168.101.25 www:Oi4THedCcN0nQ web:qsTaT6v2loN5g

It has bound user indunil to ip address 192.168.101.25 .

But user indunil still can access internet from any ip . Why is that? Where did I go wrong?

I think that it is an easy task.

Pls help me to solve this issue. It is urgent.

You should check whether you have ip_user_check (locate ip_user_check). Normally it comes with squid installation, on CentOS it should be in /usr/lib/squid/.

Then you may want to generate a config file, which should contain the list of ips and users (like <IP> <USER>).

Then you should add a line in your squid config file (e.g. ip.txt): external_acl_type IP_USER %SRC %LOGIN /usr/lib/squid/ip_user_check -f /path/to/config/file/ip.txt

After ncsa acl you should define a new acl like this:

acl IP_USER external IP_USER %SRC %LOGIN

Once this has completed you may want to rewrite the rules, like:

http_access deny !ncsa_users http_access deny !IP_USER http_access allow IP_USER http_access allow ncsa_users

You can check the ip_user_check after you created the config file from a command line, issuing the comand:

/usr/lib/squid/ip_user_check -f /path/to/config/file/ip.txt

then if you type the right pair ip user you will get an OK message and if you have an wrong pair you will get an ERR message
