[squid-users] Encrypt/Obfuscate squid.conf file

[Alleshouse, Dale (NonEmp)]

Yes, every developer is equally trusted with all the data.

"Encryption" was a clerical error on my part, I meant to say authentication...

As far as I can tell, we are going to have to do something besides basic authentication on our proxy server in order to make this work.

Thanks to everyone for their help.

So, they're all equally trusted with all your data, then.

Encryption?

Er, what?

Why do the credentials go into squid.conf?

So, use PAM / LDAP / (basically something else) to do the authentication, and then just tell Squid to allow "authenticated users".
