You can change to a +# different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely. +# +# Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes +# authentication it does not automatically activate authentication. +# To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based +# on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or +# external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be +# challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered +# in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new +# login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth +# type acl. +# +# WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting +# proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and +# not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to +# transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid. +# Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have +# authentication disabled. +# +# === Parameters common to all schemes. === +# +# "program" cmdline +# Specifies the command for the external authenticator. +# +# By default, each authentication scheme is not used unless a +# program is specified. +# +# See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/AddonHelpers for +# more details on helper operations and creating your own. +# +# "key_extras" format +# Specifies a string to be append to request line format for +# the authentication helper. "Quoted" format values may contain +# spaces and logformat %macros. In theory, any logformat %macro +# can be used. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) if +# the helper request is sent before the required macro +# information is available to Squid. +# +# By default, Squid uses request formats provided in +# scheme-specific examples below (search for %credentials). +# +# The expanded key_extras value is added to the Squid credentials +# cache and, hence, will affect authentication. It can be used to +# autenticate different users with identical user names (e.g., +# when user authentication depends on http_port). +# +# Avoid adding frequently changing information to key_extras. For +# example, if you add user source IP, and it changes frequently +# in your environment, then max_user_ip ACL is going to treat +# every user+IP combination as a unique "user", breaking the ACL +# and wasting a lot of memory on those user records. It will also +# force users to authenticate from scratch whenever their IP +# changes. +# +# "realm" string +# Specifies the protection scope (aka realm name) which is to be +# reported to the client for the authentication scheme. It is +# commonly part of the text the user will see when prompted for +# their username and password. +# +# For Basic the default is "Squid proxy-caching web server". +# For Digest there is no default, this parameter is mandatory. +# For NTLM and Negotiate this parameter is ignored. +# +# "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N] +# +# The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If +# you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to process +# a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it down.

A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup +# and reconfigure. Squid will start more in groups of up to +# idle=N in an attempt to meet traffic needs and to keep idle=N +# free above those traffic needs up to the maximum. +# +# The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests +# the helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers +# who only supports one request at a time.

Ignored when using blocking I/O module because +# blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the +# expected swap wait time. +# +# max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using +# the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that +# would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are +# delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are +# not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and +# since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out +# requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller. +# This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too +# many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes +# while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together +# with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows +# when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default +# and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit +# enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only. +# +# slot-size=bytes: The size of a database "record" used for +# storing cached responses.

Logformat "%http::>..." codes are used for HTTP +# messages embedded in ICAP requests while "%http::<..." codes are used +# for HTTP messages embedded in ICAP responses. For example: +# +# http::>h To-be-adapted HTTP message headers sent by Squid to +# the ICAP service. For REQMOD transactions, these are +# HTTP request headers. For RESPMOD, these are HTTP +# response headers, but Squid currently cannot log them +# (i.e., %http::>h will expand to "-" for RESPMOD). +# +# http::<h Adapted HTTP message headers sent by the ICAP +# service to Squid (i.e., HTTP request headers in regular +# REQMOD; HTTP response headers in RESPMOD and during +# request satisfaction in REQMOD). +# +# ICAP OPTIONS transactions do not embed HTTP messages. +# +# Several logformat codes below deal with ICAP message bodies.
