I'm just starting to use squidguard, I've been using squid as a caching
proxy at home for two years now. It was a very basic install, that I
just setup and use... absolutely no maintenance.
Anyway, I would like to setup squid/squidguard at work to limit and
monitor user activity on the web. I have a few questions:
1) I noticed this statement, " redirect unregistered user to a
registration form" on the squidguard intro page as one of its
capabilities. My understanding is that this means squidguard can force
someone to register on first web acces so that it can log their usage.
Am I correct, if so I haven't been able to find any info on setting
this up... how would I go about it? (Even a little info would be
helpful here, as I could find no reference of this anywhere else.)
2) From everyone elses experience, what is the best way to identify
users? Via the registration page I just mentioned, or an ident server
on each client, or stricly by IP (not desirable, I would imagine, in a
DHCP environment). Some of my personal thoughts here, I thought a
registration page would be annoying, but I'd rather not have to install
an ident server on everybox, and IPs don't make much sense to managers
(the people wishing to limit / monitor usage).
I'm looking for opinions and best practice recommendations. Any
information will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bert
