Re: [squid-users] Squid authentication from ADS to linux proxyserver(squid)

You can use LDAP authentication. Try squid's LDAP authenticator program
(included with the code), and there's a bunch of instructions on how to
do this.

I think you may also need nss_ldap from PADL.com, but it's doable and
I've done it before. You'll also need a "proxy" user with which the
authenticator process can log in to AD, since AD doesn't allow
meaningful anonymous queries.

I have been told that winbind can be used for authenticating of squid by installing samba (but I haven't done it before). I also know that samba has a limitation for authenticating windows 98 on file shares to a ADS server(it can't do it, it can only do windows 2k and XP because windows 98 does not use the kerberos proticol). So will squid have the same problem (by useing samba(winbind) as the authenticaing program which will get the username and passwords from a ADS server). If squid can do it, can someone point me in the right direction please.
