Hello,I am setting up Kerberos auth on squid (3.1.15), but it won't work. Browser (IE 8) keeps on poping up the username/password window, but authentication is never successful. Yet, I don't see any logging of failed authentication attempts in kerberos logs at all! It's as if squid is not communicating with kerberos server. Yet, kinit from the command line works fine (see details below).
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something? I need your help. Thanks, Nick Details of the setup follow (true names/IP addresses have been changed):I have a working Kerberos Server (MIT Kerberos 5 on CentOS 5.6) on kerb.example.com and I am setting up squid on squid.example.com; it's Squid 3.1.15.x86_64 as RPM on CentOS 5.6 (from here: ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.pramberger.at/systems/linux/contrib/rhel5/x86_64/squid3-3.1.15-1.el5.pp.x86_64.rpm).
Host squid.example.com is also setup as a kerberos client. So, I have added to kerberos a host: host/squid.example....@example.com and a service: HTTP/squid.example....@example.com Then, I created a keytab file (httpsquid.keytab) for the latter: [root@squid]# kadmin.local Authenticating as principal userx/ad...@example.com with password. kadmin.local: addprinc HTTP/squid.example....@example.comWARNING: no policy specified for HTTP/squid.example....@example.com; defaulting to no policy
Enter password for principal "HTTP/squid.example....@example.com": Re-enter password for principal "HTTP/squid.example....@example.com": Principal "HTTP/squid.example....@example.com" created. kadmin.local: ktadd -k /etc/krb5kdc/httpsquid.keytab HTTP/squid.example.comEntry for principal HTTP/squid.example.com with kvno 2, encryption type AES-256 CTS mode with 96-bit SHA-1 HMAC added to keytab WRFILE:/etc/krb5kdc/httpsquid.keytab. Entry for principal HTTP/squid.example.comwith kvno 2, encryption type AES-128 CTS mode with 96-bit SHA-1 HMAC added to keytab WRFILE:/etc/krb5kdc/httpsquid.keytab. Entry for principal HTTP/squid.example.comwith kvno 2, encryption type Triple DES cbc mode with HMAC/sha1 added to keytab WRFILE:/etc/krb5kdc/httpsquid.keytab. Entry for principal HTTP/squid.example.comwith kvno 2, encryption type ArcFour with HMAC/md5 added to keytab WRFILE:/etc/krb5kdc/httpsquid.keytab. Entry for principal HTTP/squid.example.comwith kvno 2, encryption type DES with HMAC/sha1 added to keytab WRFILE:/etc/krb5kdc/httpsquid.keytab. Entry for principal HTTP/squid.example.comwith kvno 2, encryption type DES cbc mode with RSA-MD5 added to keytab WRFILE:/etc/krb5kdc/httpsquid.keytab.
...moved it to /etc/squid and changed ownership to root:squid and permissions: 640.
I have checked that the keytab file works: [root@squid]# kinit -V -k -t httpsquid.keytab HTTP/squid.example.com Authenticated to Kerberos v5 I also added to the start of /etc/init.d/squid the lines: KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/squid/httpsquid.keytab export KRB5_KTNAMEThen, I checked that kerberos authentication is enabled (as explained e.g. here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ltscnnct/v2r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.connections.25.help/t_install_kerb_edit_browsers.html), then I specified (in IE, Internet Options / Connections / LAN Settings) squid.example.com as a Proxy on port 3128 and I have tried to visit any page. As I explained, browser (IE 8) keeps on poping up the username/password window, but authentication is never successful. I have tried the following as username, without success:
userx EXAMPLE.COM\userx us...@example.com us...@example.comOn the other hand, Firefox 6 (with similar settings) doesn't show any pop up window; it just fails.
I have tried the three following configuration alternatives, but it didn't make any difference:
auth_param negotiate program /usr/libexec/squid/squid_kerb_auth -dauth_param negotiate program /usr/libexec/squid/squid_kerb_auth-d -s HTTP/squid.example.com
