You need the OpenLDAP libraries if you want to use the LDAP helpers for Squid. You do not need the OpenLDAP server or clients installed. > Will the users be presented with an username/password box or will squid use > the curretly in use credentials of the user who is logged on? LDAP is only possible in the Basic authentication scheme where the users is asked for their login. If you want to use automatic login then you need to use the NTLM scheme, and here the recommended approach is to install Samba-3 and have the Squid server join your windows domain. See the Squid FAQ on winbind for details. Regards Henrik
