Hi I am trying to configure the squid proxy to authenticate users via LDAP for internet access. The plain proxy with no authentication works fine. Below are the contents of my squid.conf: hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? no_cache deny QUERY auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/squid_ldap_auth -b "dc=rlbuht,dc=lan" -f "uid=%s" 172.20.33.3 auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm rlbuht.lan auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours auth_param basic casesensitive off refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 563 acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager #http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localhost http_access allow all http_reply_access allow all icp_access allow all coredump_dir /var/spool/squid This parses OK, and the service is happy starting and stopping etc. However, there is still no authentication with the LDAP server. When I run ldapsearch from the command line I get the following message: [root@rq6squid01 ~] ldapsearch Ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP Server (-1) I have tried pinging the LDAP server and it pings, I can also connect via telnet to the server on port 389 so firewalls etc. all looks OK. It's probably something basic I have missed out or syntax error. Anyone have time to cast an experienced eye over this for me please? Ta Danny
