User/Pass authentication not working, can you give example code?

[dxjones]

When trying to use the socks5 proxy (with Chrome on a Mac), it fails with this error message:

[ERR] socks: Failed to authenticate: No supported authentication mechanism

I had set the System Preferences on the Mac to use the SOCKS Proxy, and I provided the user and password. The proxy was clearly being contacted, but the authentication step was failing.

Here is the code that attempts to configure socks5 to use the UserPassAuthenticator.

package main

import socks5 "github.com/armon/go-socks5"

func main() {
	cred := socks5.StaticCredentials{"user": "pass"}
	conf := &socks5.Config{Credentials: cred}
	server, err := socks5.New(conf)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	err = server.ListenAndServe("tcp", "127.0.0.1:8000")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

Can anyone give a simple example showing how UserPassAuthenticator can be used with Chrome/Safari browsers on a Mac?

Chrome does not support authentication with socks5.

If people are still struggling to get it working then here is the solution

func main() {
	cred := socks5.StaticCredentials{
		"user": "pass",
	}
	conf := &socks5.Config{
		AuthMethods: []socks5.Authenticator{socks5.UserPassAuthenticator{Credentials: cred}},
	}
	server, err := socks5.New(conf)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	err = server.ListenAndServe("tcp", "127.0.0.1:8000")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}
