Squid with PAM authentication & Squish

Squish will be set to run as the download manager for squid, meaning
that daily, weekly or monthly
download & time limits can be set on users or IP address.In this
how-to we will set squid
to use PAM authenication and limit the montly bandwidth each user has
with squish. The programs
used in this guide will be:

Name: Squish
HomePage: http://www.ledge.co.za/software/squint/squish/
Fuction: Total daily/weekly/monthly Bandwidth/Time Manager

Name: Squid
HomePage: http://www.squid-cache.org/
Fuction: proxy caching server for web clients

Name: Apache
HomePage: http://www.apache.org/
Fuction: Webserver

  1. download from http://www.ledge.co.za/software/squint/squish/

  2. unzip into /install/

  3. cd into the folder

cd /install/squish-0.0.12

  1. make install

  2. then move yourself into the directroy that squish was installed in

cd/usr/local/squish/

  1. then run the install option on the squish.pl

./squish.pl --install

  1. download the GD Graphics Library rpm’s from the website below

http://dag.wieers.com/packages/perl-GD/

  1. and then install it

rpm -ivh perl-GD-2.30-1.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm

  1. or you can get the source from http://www.boutell.com/gd/

  2. run the command ‘crontab -e’ and then input the following into the file

5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/local/squish/squish.cron.sh

  1. then run the job for the first time

/usr/local/squish/squish.cron.sh

Now i’m going to use PAM to authenticate squid.

  1. now we need to edit the ‘/etc/squid/squid.conf’ and add the
    following lines in the right area’s

(in the basic area authentication area)
auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth

(in the acl’s area)
acl pam proxy_auth REQUIRED

  1. at this point you can edit the squid pam module ‘/etc/pamd.d/squid’

  2. PAM (pluggable authenticate module) can authenticate against
    almost anything, unix, LDAP, winbind. it has many, many uses so look
    into PAM if you think it might be useful for you.

  3. now set the right permissions on /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth

chmod u+s /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth

  1. now set the squid ACLs to the following.

added by squish (begin)

acl SQUISHLOC dst mc2.fedora.directory.server

acl SQUISHED1 proxy_auth “/etc/squid/squished”
deny_info http://ip-address-of-squish-serverr/squish/?squished& SQUISHED1
http_access allow SQUISHLOC
http_access allow pam !SQUISHED1

added by squish (end)

  1. now set the redirect in the apache configuration file

‘cat /usr/local/squish/apache-squish.conf >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf’

  1. restart the apache and squid servers now

‘/etc/init.d/squid restart’
‘/etc/init.d/httpd restart’

  1. go to http://ip-address-of-squish-server/squish/squish.cgi

  2. edit the ‘/etc/squid/squish.conf’ to change the download/hours limits
