By the help of God.

Hi Amos,

Sounds interesting.

Maybe I should modify the external_acl_type to talk with internal API inside my system.

Can you please point me to some code examples and documentation?

Also if you can please point me to squid code that invokes the external ACL program?

Thanks,

Ben

Can I configure squid authentication TTL per only source IP and ignores other parameters so authentication will be requested only once in TTL for all the sessions?


Not with just authentication. You will need to use a slightly more complicated system involving an external_acl_type helper as well and switch to an SQL database auth system.


The idea for that is that you have a database of authenticated users with their last-known IP address.

 Your auth_param helper is changed to one which takes client IP address in the auth_param key_extras setting, and adds records to the SQL database before telling Squid the login is OK.

 Use an ext_sql_session_acl helper which takes IP address and checks the database to find the username who last authenticated from there. This needs to be checked and permit existing sessions before the auth helper.

The config looks something like this:


  external_acl_type ipuser negative_ttl=0 ttl=7200 %<a \
    /usr/bin/squid/ext_sql_session_acl \
    --dsn "..." --user dbUsername --password dbPassword --persist \
    --usercol username --uidcol ipaddress

  acl user_known external ipuser
  http_access allow user_known


  auth_param basic program /path/to/helper
  auth_param basic key_extras %<a
  auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours

  acl authenticated proxy_auth REQUIRED

  http_access allow authenticated
