<p dir="auto">I cannot for the love of [insert your deity here] make cachemgr.cgi work with squid3 (pfsense 2.1)</p>
<p dir="auto">I've followed to the 'T' this (dated) how to: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,14609.msg77312.html</p>
<p dir="auto">Nothing… when access the Cache Manager page it asks for Manager Name and password... I tried all the combination I could think of... no access...</p>
<p dir="auto">my (relevant part) for squid.conf are:</p>
<pre><code>
cache_manager admin@charon
cachemgr_passwd disable offline_toggle reconfigure shutdown
cachemgr_passwd none all

...

#acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32
acl localhost src 192.168.1.1/32

</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">192.168.1.1 is the address of the LAN interface</p>
<p dir="auto">Any ideas? Hints?</p>
<p dir="auto">cheers</p>

<p dir="auto">The ACL part you did I just added on GUI squid –&gt; Access Control --&gt; External Cache-Managers<br />
There I added just an IP address of one of my VLAN interfaces (LAN site).</p>

<p dir="auto">unfortunately, squid 3.x GUI does not have a 'External Cache-Managers ACL' under squid GUI –&gt; ACLs</p>
<p dir="auto">Or maybe I am just blind and cannot see it  :)</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Then I will be prompted for username - which is admin - an my password myVerySecretMasswordForUserAdmin</p>
<p dir="auto">Not sure but if you do not use any password then it could be possible for someone from your LAN to check the cachmgr.cgi which probably should not be possible.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">On my network, pfSense webConfigurator is only accessible if you are in the "management" network… clients on the lan have to tunnel through VPN to access the management network and I am the only user allowed to get there... of course, I should probably set a password because "you never know"tm</p>
<p dir="auto">I will look into it. Thanks.</p>

<p dir="auto">I added this to the custom configuration on squid GUI:</p>
<pre><code>
cachemgr_passwd disable offline_toggle reconfigure shutdown;
cachemgr_passwd myVerySecretMasswordForUserAdmin all;

<p dir="auto">The ACL part you did I just added on GUI squid –&gt; Access Control --&gt; External Cache-Managers<br />

I am using squid 2.x and pfsense 2.0.3</p>

<p dir="auto">I like this solution, I do not mind that the page won't be integrated into pfsense's webConfigurator. I use Bandwithd too, so it won't be that strange  ;)</p>
<p dir="auto">Right now I cannot test it, but I will report back with the results tomorrow when I will try.</p>
