Dear Community,

I successfully set up a LDAP authentication between squid and a windows 2008 
server domain controller. The following problem exists:
# Users are able to use http and https. When they are not explicitly enter 
https://<url> the http protocol will be used
# Because the auth is basic_ldap_auth all passwords are then transmitted in 
clear text.

I thought of the two solutions because of that challange:
# Redirect auth traffic (or all traffic) from HTTP to HTTPs, I did a lot of 
internet research abou this but did not find any solution
# I read a hint on 
http://serverfault.com/questions/151672/the-story-of-secure-user-authentication-in-squid
 that you should be able to mix digest and auth programs, but this does not 
work, obviously because the squid server is (fortunetely) not able to reverse 
the MD5 string it get's from the client to clear text passwords

Any help is highly appreciated.

Best regards!
