Hi Matthew,

I think you are a bit confused. AD offers a Kerberos and ldap service. OpenDirecttory or eDirectory is just ldap and has nothing to do with Kerberos (as far as I know). You can use AD, MIT Kerberos, Heimdal Kerberos or any other Implementation (e.g. Solaris based) for authentication with squid.

Hi Amos,

Thanks for the reply, you have left me very confused, though. We are talking about MIT's kerberos, right?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_(protocol)

My understanding is that kerberos is a protocol for authentication, and other directory services (like Mac OS X's OpenDirectory) support it as well as AD.

Thanks for the link to the wiki, I had a quick look through, and I'll see if I can get it going with AD as a test. Does anyone know if any other directory services that implement Kerberos are supported? I'd like to see if I can get it to work with OpenDirectory or maybe Novell eDirectory.

Thanks for the help!

Hi!

I have been trying to find out some info on kerberos auth and squid, but
most of my searching points to setting up kerberos for single signon
with
windows AD. Are other directory services supported? If so, which? Also
does
anyone know of some good beginner style resources for setting up kerb
auth
with squid?

That would be because the protocol is a proprietary one by Microsoft.
Non-microsoft software would tend to lean towards other free alternatives.

Have you seen the wiki Kerberos pages?
