I'm trying to set up basic auth on squid proxy on an ubuntu 14.4 EC2 instance. I'm following http://soad1982.blogspot.com/2013/05/squid-proxy-on-aws.html.

Following the article I tried to set a password for a user like so:

What am I doing wrong?

ubuntu@ip-172-31-36-156:~$ which htpasswd
ubuntu@ip-172-31-36-156:~$ sudo sh -c 'echo "$PATH"'
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

edit:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-36-156:~$ sudo find / -name basic_ncsa_auth
ubuntu@ip-172-31-36-156:~$

ubuntu@ip-172-31-36-156:~$ sudo htpasswd /etc/squid3/passwd soad
sudo: htpasswd: command not found

You don't have htpasswd installed on your system to manage HTTP users. You can use the one from the Apache HTTP Server utility programs Install apache2-utils package. Even though it's meant for Apache and not Squid, the password file format is the same (according to your reports).
