Topic: E-Smith Proxy-Auth

[Cimuser2000]

I installed "e-smith-proxy-auth-0.0.1-01dc-noarch.rpm" off of "http://www.pagefault.org/e-smith/contrib/". From the client side (WindowsXP). when I access the net, it correctly prompts me for Username/Password, but I cannot use my true login name. If I use the "admin" username, no problem. I cannot find where to add users to the "authorized" list people to have internet access. I expected there to be a line item for it in "server-manager", but theres nothing. Can anybody help me out?

TIA

I have no firsthand experience with it, but I thought that it allowed only SME users to have internet access (i.e. no "authorized" list of users). You are using a username/password combination that exists on the SME right?

[jose velez]

www.e-smith.dyndns.org. download the software and install it.  If the proxy user is activated it will produce a list of user and you allow internet access or not.  also you can give access to some sites without giving authorization.

How do you "activate" the proxy user?

[Cimuser2000]

Bill,
  Yes, I have users defined on E-Smith. But, I am not using E-Smith as a Primary Domain Controller. So, the clients are peer to peer. They log in locally to their own windows machines. Their local username/passwords are identical to the SME username/passwords. Proxy IS working, I just have to find out how to add/deny users to some list. Right now, only admin works.

Thanks.....

As Jose said:

its absolutly kicks ass! Brings up a nice little panel called "Proxy Users" where you can turn on/off user's access to the proxy, but the user must exist as a e-smith user, its dead easy!

does it work with transparent proxy enabled??

thanks!

[Steve Lewis]

For those with Proxy Auth installed, what version of SME/e-smith do you have?

[Lazo]

right now I have 5.0 update 6, I plan to upgrade when 5.6 is ready!!

[Lazo]

well, but I have transparent proxy installed, but no proxy-Auth!

[steve]

Ok, I have 5.1.2 installed, have been waiting on 5.6 because ext3 is supposed to be included with 5.6.

Anyway, I need to do Proxy-Auth on a 5.1.2 sme box, does anyone have this working?

And, at www.e-smith.dyndns.org, I assume the squid package is the proxy-auth contrib. Is ths correct.

I have 5.5 U2 and have been using the e-smith-squid-0.3-2.i386.rpm at www.e-smith.dyndns.org for about 1 month now, very happy with it. Only thing is that for some reason on W2k machines after it prompts for a username/password, you have to hit refresh to start loading pages (using IE), but works fine with Windoze 95/98/98SE/ME which is good enough for me

On all versions.

[Cimuser2000]

I guess I must be in la la land..... I loaded "e-smith-squid-0.3-2.i386.rpm at www.e-smith.dyndns.org" which was successful, and I cannot find the the "nice little panel called "Proxy Users" where you can turn on/off user's access to the proxy"! Is that panel supposed to be in the "server-manager" portion? Or, do I key in some command at shell level to access it? It's not in my "server-manager". Something that is supposed to be "dead easy" has me going in circles.

Hmmmm thats wierd, cannt help you with that as when I installed it I got a link under "Collaboration" called "Proxy Users" which opens the panel for the squid configuration, try this:

http://<>/server-manager/cgi-bin/pleasewait?/server-manager/cgi-bin/squidconf

as that is where my link points to, maybe you can still access the panel without the link, if not then I dont think it has been installed properly, did you use the update system panel or installed from the command prompt?
