mysql_auth
mysql_auth is a basic authenticator for Squid Proxy. You can configure all MySQL variables for your existing user/password database (dbhost, dbadmin, dbpasswd, dbname, tablename, columns name), or create a new database. It includes a utility called mypasswd that updates your database. Another form of mypasswd, called mypasswd.cgi, is also available.

Recent releases
- 24 Jun 2009 14:16
Changes: This release adds md5 and md5crypt functionality to encryption. There is a new field called "squidactive" to easily activate and deactivate users. From now on, mysql_library_init() and mysql_library_end() are used to free up all resources.
- 13 Dec 2004 18:10
Changes: A memory leak in mysql_auth has been fixed.
- 09 Sep 2004 14:57
Changes: This release changes mysql_connet() to mysql_real_connect(), and adds a new configuration parameter: mysqld_socket. mypasswd's INSERT query has been modified: the query reads the column's name from the configuration file, not a static query.
- 15 Jan 2003 12:53
Changes: A critical bug in which mysql_auth didn't do anything when it read a ^D (control-d) character from standard input was fixed. When the admin sends a SIGHUP to squid (with '-k reload'), it restarts a few mysql_auth processes.
- 07 Jan 2003 07:32
Changes: This release fixes a non-critical bug: when encrypt_password_form is NO and an admin uses the mypasswd utility and gives the password as an argument, mypasswd will just put an empty password in the database.
