Yet more progress... I have also put in some authentication configuration using squid_ldap_auth. Now, a login box comes up in the browser and once my username and password is given all is well. Users not in the Internet group can put in their username and password but are denied access after that.

Here's the real question - is it actually possible to have group AUTHORISATION without requiring the user to enter any login details (AUTHENTICATION), i.e. the username comes from Windows or something?

Thanks,
Oliver

OK I've sorted out the parameters to use for squid_ldap_group. I have this line in squid.conf:

external_acl_type ldap_group %LOGIN /usr/lib/squid/squid_ldap_group -b cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=local -f "(&(cn=%g)(member=%u)(objectClass=group))" -B cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=local -F "cn=%s" -D cn=Oliver,cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=local -w password 192.168.150.100

This brings back OK when I put in users who are in various groups. For example I am in the Internet group so when I enter "Oliver Internet" it returns OK. However access through the proxy is now giving me Cache Denied Request errors:

The following error was encountered:

Cache Access Denied.

Sorry, you are not currently allowed to request:

http://www.google.com/from this cache until you have authenticated yourself.

My other acl lines that control access are below:

acl group1 external ldap_group Internet
http_access allow group1

What could be going on, since I am definitely a member of the group that I am allowing access to?

Regards,
Oliver

I'm trying to authorise users of the proxy by determining if they are a member of a certain Active Directory group or not. Yes, I've read the documentation, FAQ, mailing list archives and man pages but it is still confusing to me. The version in question is 2.5STABLE3.

On the 2000 domain controller I have standard users in the Users container. The authorised internet users will also be a member of a group called Internet. So far I've been using ldapsearch to verify what sort of information will be coming out of the LDAP but I find it hard to make this correspond to the parameters I'm putting into squid_ldap_group.

For example, here's an ldapsearch line that will give me the Internet group back with a list of members:

ldapsearch -x -b cn=Internet,cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=local -D cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=local -W -h 192.168.150.100

How do I turn this into a useful line for squid_ldap_group? I've tried the following with no success:

/usr/lib/squid/squid_ldap_group -b cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=local -f "(&(name=%g)(member=%u)(objectClass=group))" -D cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=local 192.168.150.100

Oliver Internet
ERR
CN=Oliver,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=local Internet
ERR

Also the fact that 2000 doesn't allow you to view what is going on with the LDAP queries makes it even harder. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Oliver
