But how do i tell the program which group i want? what does the %a parameter mean in here exactly, or rather where does it come from and with what does it get filled? > external_acl_type ldapgroup %LOGIN /usr/lib/squid/squid_ldap_group -b o=Company > -f (&(objectclass=person)(cn=%v)(groupMembership=cn=%a,ou=Proxygroups,o=Company)) > -D cn=Tim,ou=IT-Services,o=Company -w timspassword -h ldapserver the %LOGIN is the username "Tim" which i enter in my browser, also the parameter %v, but how does it select the actual group where i want to check if "CN=Tim, OU=IT-Services, DC=company" actually is a member? I have to submit the groupname "googlegroups" somehow, but i am missing this step.... or does the acl line: > acl ldapgroup-googleallowed external ldapgroup googleallowed does this very checking against the groupd "googleallowed"? since it's using ldapgroup which again derives from external_acl_typ ldapgroup %LOGIN.... Thanks already. Regards.
