Hi Everyone,
New to HAProxy and trying to figure out how to get authentication to work on the front end. using haproxy 1.7.8
What i am aiming to do is the following:
Client -> HAProxy(as a proxy tunnel) -> server/1/2/3/4/5
I am running squid on the back end, everything is working but then i wanted to add authentication to HAProxy as i have white listed my HAProxy VM in the squid configuration which allows access to all connections. Note the ‘#’ are there as that is the configuration that works, when i remove them i get a ‘ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED’ error.
Always the squid server is also local on another VM where i am using my /64 ipv6 from my ISP. Just trying to learn all these things.
Configuration:
global
log /dev/log local0
log /dev/log local1 notice
chroot /var/lib/haproxy
stats timeout 30s
user haproxy
group haproxy
daemon
#userlist Admins
#group AdminGroup users admin
#user admin insecure-password 1234
defaults
log global
mode http

timeout server 50000

Any tips would be great, Thanks!
