Squid Firewall + Proxy

[Christoph <puetzc () yahoo com>]

We're doing software development. Our application is
web based and therefore we have to work with/around a
few firewall specific problems.

One of our clients is using the Squid server on Unix
as firewall and as a proxy server. Our application
uses an addin for MS Excel. We use proxy information
from the users system to go through the firewall
proxy. However - we do have problems going through the
Squid. We are unable to reproduce the problem by using
MS Proxy and a firewall and therefore have to
configure a Squid setup.

We do have problems with the configuration. Result is
always "Access denied" and we probably do something
wrong with our setup of the configuration file.

How do I put in the IP addresses for my client? We try
to follow the example in the conf file but are not
sure if we do it right. I'd like to be able to specify
a whole class c IP address range and/or a few single
IP addresses.

Where and how do I specify user names?

Where and how do I specify the passwords?

Is one of the default settings in the Squid conf file
keeping me away from going through the Squid?

What are the changes I have to make if I just want to
open the Squid for users who will need password
authentication?

If anyone has some useful tips and tricks for me -
maybe even a conf file (without confidential data of
course) - that would be great. 

Thanks in advance!!

Chris
