Hello -
I have been working on and actually making progress for writing a client for windows that will authenticate a user to authpf upon login thereby granting access to the network based on rules setup for each user/group. In addition we would love to be able to somehow transparently authenticate that user to the squid firewall tied back to the Active Directory on our network using LDAP. Just wondering if anyone has approached/done something like this already in the hopes of saving some time developing it. I would be more than happy to share my code for the windows side - needs to be cleaned up before I released it - if anybody is interested in assisting as well. My goal would be to have a small client that starts with windows that notes when a user logs onto the computer and automagically takes care of opening and holding open an ssh1 session to the firewall as well as someone allowing the user to be authenticated to the squid proxy transparently. Any advice (useful advice preferred - but other advice accepted without prejudice) would be appreciated. I have limited background in C and C++ and a fair amount of experience in Windows C# development. Thanks, Brian Shackelford
