Title: Problem with http proxy configuration
Post by: sunnet on Thursday 01 April 2010, 04:17:59 am
I have an Endian Firewall 2.2 which works very well. I would like to upgrade to version 2.3 and am trying to configure it but when I open the browser, it not asks me for logon credentials. I created groups and users, but nothing, it open directly the page that shows me that the site is blocked. Where can I find informafioni for such a configuration, or is there someone who can help me?

If it say that site is blocked implies that you have selected a category in the content filter profile which clocking the site you want to open. Try selecting a few category to rule out the problematic one ;)

cheers!

Thank you, but my primary problem is that the EFW not asks me the logon for the browser.

You need to enable authentication but you can't use transparent mode.

Hi Sunnet,

If I understand correctly, try:

Proxy - HTTP - Configuration - Authencation Required

(http://gypthecat.com/images/hotlink/efwsupport.org/endian_http_authentication_01.png)

It sounds like it could be on disabled at the moment allowing all traffic through.

I had the same problem once in a new endian installation.

I had a message that i am not authenticated but i was using transparent proxy that does not need authentication.

I realized that the problem was with the havp service (check the log files for havp).

Specifically, havp couldn't find the files whitelist and blacklist in the folder /etc/havp .

For a strange reason these files were not there (the links for these file because the original files are located in the folder /var/efw/havp).

Havp cannot work without them even if they are empty. The service needs them to start (see the conf file of havp)

I created them manually (touch /etc/havp/whitelist) and set the owner as nobody (chown nobody:nobody /etc/havp/whitelist)

and then i restarted the havp service (/etc/init.d/havp restart). Finally i restarted the squid and the problem was solved.

I hope this will help.
