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

SYNOPSIS
       ncsa_auth passwdfile

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

       The only parameter is the password file.	 It must have  permissions  to
       be  read	 by the user that Squid is running as. By default this user is
       proxy. This can be changed using the cache_effective_user directive  in
       the squid.conf file.

       This password file can be manipulated using htpasswd.

OPTIONS
       Only specify the password file name.

EXAMPLE
       ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid.pass

SECURITY
       ncsa_auth must have access to the password file to be executed.

SEE ALSO
       htpasswd(1), squid(8)
