The IP Address of the PC that the user is logged onto is stored in the LDAP DB (if you run an LDAP Query on a logged in user, you should see a field called networkAddress. With a little research, you could probably write a helper(or tweak the current ldap one) to use this information for authentication...
I.E. A request comes in, grab the IP Address of the Client & formulate an LDAP Query to find if there is a user logged on at that IP Address and if there is allow them access..

It is working perfectly, however our management and users do not like the fact that when the browser is closed down and reopened, they have to authenticate again. They are whining because they do not want to have to type in their name when they open the browser several times a day. I need a way to store the authentication so that they will remain authenticated and not be challenged by the Squid server when they open a new browser for a period of 4 hours. Yes I know that this is defeating the purpose of security and authentication, but this is my direction. TIA, Craig
