/*
 * squid_ldap_auth: authentication via ldap for squid proxy server
 *
 * Authors:
 * Henrik Nordstrom
 * hno@squid-cache.org
 *
 * Glen Newton
 * glen.newton@nrc.ca
 * Advanced Services
 * CISTI
 * National Research Council
 *
 * with contributions from others mentioned in the Changes section below
 *
 * Usage: squid_ldap_auth -b basedn [-s searchscope]
 *                        [-f searchfilter] [-D binddn -w bindpasswd]
 *                        [-u attr] [-h host] [-p port] [-P] [-R] [ldap_server_name[:port]] ...
 *
 * Dependencies: You need to get the OpenLDAP libraries
 * from http://www.openldap.org or another compatible LDAP C-API
 * implementation.
 *
 * If you want to make a TLS enabled connection you will also need the
 * OpenSSL libraries linked into openldap. See http://www.openssl.org/

 *
 * Changes:
 * 2019-01-02: Amish
 *             - Use SEND_*() macro and support for BH error
 * 2005-01-07: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@squid-cache.org>
 *             - Added some sanity checks on login names to avoid
 *               users bypassing equality checks by exploring the
 *               overly helpful match capabilities of LDAP
 * 2004-07-17: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@squid-cache.org>
 *             - Corrected non-persistent mode to only issue one
 *               ldap_bind per connection.
 *             - -U option to compare the users password rather
 *               than binding.
 * 2004-03-01: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@squid-cache.org>
 *             - corrected building of search filters to escape
 *               unsafe input
 *             - -d option for "debug" like squid_ldap_group
 * 2004-01-05: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@squid-cache.org>
 *             - Corrected TLS mode
 * 2003-03-01: David J N Begley
 *             - Support for Netscape API method of ldap over SSL
 *               connections
 *             - Timeout option for better recovery when using
 *               multiple LDAP servers
 * 2003-03-01: Christoph Lechleitner <lech@ibcl.at>
 *             - Added -W option to read bindpasswd from file
 * 2003-03-01: Juerg Michel
 *             - Added support for ldap URI via the -H option
 *               (requires OpenLDAP)
 * 2001-12-12: Michael Cunningham <m.cunningham@xpedite.com>
 *             - Added TLS support and partial ldap version 3 support.
 * 2001-10-04: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@squid-cache.org>
 *             - Be consistent with the other helpers in how
 *               spaces are managed. If there is space characters
 *               then these are assumed to be part of the password
 * 2001-09-05: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@squid-cache.org>
 *             - Added ability to specify another default LDAP port to
 *               connect to. Persistent connections moved to -P
 * 2001-05-02: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@squid-cache.org>
 *             - Support newer OpenLDAP 2.x libraries using the
 *               revised Internet Draft API which unfortunately
 *               is not backwards compatible with RFC1823..
 * 2001-04-15: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@squid-cache.org>
 *             - Added command line option for basedn
 *             - Added the ability to search for the user DN
 * 2001-04-16: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@squid-cache.org>
 *             - Added -D binddn -w bindpasswd.
 * 2001-04-17: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@squid-cache.org>
 *             - Added -R to disable referrals
 *             - Added -a to control alias dereferencing
 * 2001-04-17: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@squid-cache.org>
 *             - Added -u, DN username attribute name
 * 2001-04-18: Henrik Nordstrom <hno@squid-cache.org>
 *             - Allow full filter specifications in -f
