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?
-
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?
-
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!

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

-
right now I have 5.0 update 6, I plan to upgrade when 5.6 is ready!!
-
well, but I have transparent proxy installed, but no proxy-Auth!
-
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.

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?

Cimuser 2000,
Once you install the e-smith-squid.rpm, reconect to the user manager and check under "Collaboration" there should a "Proxy Users" entry.
I have not even used it yet.
Also, for adding contribs, I suggest the Update system located at http://myezserver.com/mitel/contrib
This is Darrel May's website. I have found any contrib he hosts on his site to be of excellent quality.

Cyrus,
I might be getting somewhere.... I installed "e-smith-squid-0.3-2.i386.rpm" from the command prompt (rpm -ivh blah..blah..blah). You mentioned using the "update system panel". I don't see that in the "server-manager" screen. Should I load the rpms some other way than the command prompt? Is there something I am missing?
TIA
-
Well I'm a bit of a noobie at Linux stuff, but I dunno what "rpm -ivh " does, I thought you had to install it using the "rpm -Uvh " command? Also you can download a Update System package that allows you to install rpm's from the server manager, it can be found here http://www.dungog.net/sme/files/ .
But you might want to try forcing it from the command line "rpm -Uvh --force " that might force it to install, but it might break something too, try using -Uvh first and then see what happens.......... :-)

warning about using the system up date panel - a few RPMS's I've tried recently failed to install properly with it because they needed some input from the user as part of the install procedure - this for example broke my install of php-nuke which I couldnt then uninstall, so it was back to a fresh install of SME and begin again - luckily its only a test setup I'm running so far.
-
>warning about using the system up date panel
it'll work with anything at my site and probably everything at darrells
for more complicated rpms when you probably need to do more stuff at the command line like *nuke it's a fair comment
i use the command line because i can type faster than i can click
fwiw
i don't believe you can have transproxy and proxy auth at the same time

wasnt a criticism of the update panel - I like it a lot, just a warning not to get too reliant on it as some of us noobs can do :-)

How do you un-install "e-smith-squid-0.3-2.src.rpm"? I tried running "rpm -e e-smith-squid-0.3-2" and I get an "error: package e-smith-squid-0.3-2 is not installed". I have installed it on top of itself with "rpm -Uvh e-smith-squid-0.3-2.src.rpm and it replies with "1:e-smith-squid ########################################### [100%]" Then I try un-installing again and get the same error. I've finally given up trying to get squid's "proxy users" panel to show up in "server-manager". Now I can't un-install it. Anybody know how to manually un-install an RPM?
-
Yeah I had the same problem except with a different rpm, I couldnt figure out a way other than a good format :-( . rpm -e gave me the same message.

You don't really uninstall a source rpm using the rpm command, but it doesn't matter, as uninstaling it won't change anything. There's certainly no need to reformat.
If you aren't a developer, don't even look at .src.rpm files; they won't do anything for you. If, however, you've inadvertently installed one, don't worry; it won't hurt anything.
-
Dan,
How do you un-install a source rpm program then? I installed "e-smith-squid-0.3-2.src.rpm" to try to get squid's "proxy users" panel to show up in "server-manager". Did I install the wrong file and now there is no way to un-install it?
-
A source RPM isn't a program in a usable sense; it's the source to a program. Thus, there's really nothing to "uninstall", though you can delete the related files from /usr/src/redhat if you really want to. Yes, you installed the wrong file--you should have installed either a .noarch.rpm (most likely) or (possibly) an .i386.rpm.
-
Dan,
You did it! I finally got Squid running. I did install the wrong file (the .src file). I installed "e-smith-squid-0.3-2.i386.rpm" and the "proxy users" panel showed up in "server-manager"!
Thanks so much for catching my installation mistake.
-
use 'rpm -e e-smith-squid' instead of 'rpm -e e-smith-squid-0.3-2' (only the package name, without version and release ;)).
