[squid-users] LDAP authentication to Squid

I'm having trouble authenticating squid against our openldap server. The
message I get is "Proxy authentication failed! Do you want to retry?"

Here is the setup with a vanilla squid.conf (fresh install on RedHat
7.3). I'm testing on the "localhost" and so there are no lan acls below.
<snip>
authenticate_program /usr/lib/squid/squid_ldap_auth -p -R -b
"dc=shine,dc=co,d
c=nz" -f uid=%s 192.168.0.2

acl okuser proxy_auth REQUIRED

http_access allow okuser
<end snip>

I can run the following
>>>>>>>
./usr/lib/squid/squid_ldap_auth -p -R -b "dc=shine,dc=co,d
c=nz" -f uid=%s 192.168.0.2
auser apssword
OK
>>>>>>>

I've searched the lists, but haven't seen a similar situation, i.e LDAP
authentication is fine, however the proxy server isn't picking it up.

Using redhat 7.3 with Squid 2.4.STABLE6 installed from the rpm. Openldap
is 2.0.23-4 also from the RPM.

(Aside: Thank you Henrik for your expert assistance on the list.
Previous postings made the link to openldap reasonably straightforward.)

Some assistance as to what to look for now would be much appreciated.
