Greetings, I'm the systems administrator for 3 offices all located within one building. Each office has their own private network and every request out to port 80 from the network is forced through Squid via iptables/portforwarding.
Here's my question. Given that each office has their own private network, Squid only sees the IP address of the routers and not of each individual client IP. What I would like is to be able to log a client ip/username/machine name/something along with the http request. I've been playing around with Squid authentication but have not had much luck getting it to work. Would this even accomplish my goal? If so, how does one turn on authentication within Squid? I've compiled the basic module and enabled everything I believe there is to be enabled according to the Squid docs.. I've configured my ACL's according to what I've read on the web and when I turn it all on, I get "Access denied", rather than a prompt to login. Any help is appreciated.
