Intruducing myself

Hi Squid-developers,

My name is Josef Irnberger and I am 23 years old.

I study Telecommunicational Engeneerings at the University of Applied Sciences
in Salzburg, Austria, and currently I am doing my Internship/Diploma Thesis at a
large cd-manufacturing company in Salzburg.

The topic of my Internship is "developement of a ldap-based Single Sign-On
solution". The connection to squid is, that users should be allowed to surf the
net based on their username/password (via ldap).

Currently, I use Squid/3.0-DEVEL-20021021 and Simon Loaders ldap_auth program to
archieve this. Ldap_auth currently uses ldap_simple_bind_s and I would like to
write a program that is capable of authenticating users with SSL/TLS/DIGEST-MD5,
but this doesn't make much sense at the moment, as SQUID uses
plaintext/BASE64-encoding to transmit the username/password. Therefore I wanted
to ask, if there is any possibility to extend this to some secure method.

If you see any chance that this can be done with a reasonable (small) amount of
work, I'd like to offer you to implement this myself, but please take into
account, that I am _not_ an ubercoder (yet?).

Please send me comments on this,

regards
Josef
