I'm using squid proxy on Ubuntu 22.04(LTS) with auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/basic_db_auth and it's working fine. I am able to add the users to the mysql database and able to use the proxy using those.

I'm also storing the access_log in mysql using logfile_daemon /usr/lib/squid/log_db_daemon.

Now here is the issue

  • suppose I have created 5 users, (user1, user2, user3...)
  • I use the user1 user and password to connect to the proxy

  • It logs the correct user user1

  • Now the same user changes to user2. But here is the issue, after this still the squid keeps logging with user1

  • I have also tried to set auth_param basic credentialsttl 5 seconds in squid config in hope that it will reauthenticate the user every 5 seconds, but this did not helped.

  • The purpose of this is to monitor the data usage of each user, but this make calculate the data inaccurate. Also cannot use the ip_client as multiple users from same network might use the proxy, I want to monitor them individually.

Thank you for reading this much, any help would be appreciated.
