Topic: Squid, Pam and Ldap

[proby84]

Currently i use smb_auth in squid to authenticate windows users with. It works great but every time a user opens a new internet explorer window it prompts again for there password. I read that somewere that pam will read your active directory server. What i want to be able to achieve is that squid can detect the logged in windows users and authenticate from that rather than having a log in prompt.

The is the code i currently have in my squid.conf which authenticates off my windows domain.

auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/smb_auth -W MYDOMAIN
acl domainusers proxy_auth required REQUIRED
http_access allow domainusers

Many Thanks

Welcome to the forums.

The Dansguardian contrib supports Ident, see http://wiki.contribs.org/Dansguardian#Using_Ident_login for details. If you don't want users to have to enter a password, Ident may be more appropriate.
