Dearest squid expert out there, I have had squid boxes running on wccp with cisco router for my customer. There are 2 new requirements lately: (1) authentication with wccp There comes a new requirement from my customer that every user should be authenticated before being allowed to browse the internet. The purpose is to provide logs showing which uid has browsed to which websites on shared computers (like those in computer labs or cybercafe). I understand from http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-17.html#ss17.16 that authentication does not work with wccp. And I read somewhere in squid 3 development site that there is an intention to enable such possibility, I like to know if this is true. Don't mind me being asking again - but why was authentication designed not to work with wccp? If transparent proxy design is required together with authentication, is there any alternative I could work on? (2) antivirus and content filtering In addition to authentication, the other requirement is to provide content filtering to wccp squid. The content filtering includes antivirus scanning for web content as well as other web content filtering. There is web content filtering from Trendmicro and other brands. I just wish to know how to get it to forward such content from squid to these software for scanning before squid passing the webpages back to users. Thanks heaps in advance for any advice. Kah Yi
