NAME
       basic_ncsa_auth	- NCSA httpd-style password file authentication helper
       for Squid

SYNOPSIS
       basic_ncsa_auth passwd file

DESCRIPTION
       basic_ncsa_auth allows Squid to read and authenticate user and password
       information  from  an  NCSA/Apache httpd-style password file when using
       basic HTTP authentication.

       This password file can be manipulated using htpasswd.

       This authenticator accepts:  * Blowfish - for passwords	72  characters
       or  less in length  * SHA256 - with salting and magic strings  * SHA512
       - with salting and magic strings	 * MD5 - with optional salt and	 magic
       strings	  *  DES  - for passwords 8 characters or less in length NOTE:
       Blowfish and SHA algorithms require system-specific support.

OPTIONS
       The only parameter is the password file.	 It must have  permissions  to
       be read by the user that Squid is running as.

CONFIGURATION
	      basic_ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid.pass

       basic_ncsa_auth must have access to the password file to be executed.

KNOWN ISSUES
       DES  functionality  (used  by  htpasswd	by default) silently truncates
       passwords to 8 characters.  Allowing login with password values shorter
       than  the  one desired.	This authenticator will reject login with long
       passwords when using DES.
