Guys, I'm looking for an open source solution to this problem... 1. Using Squid as a proxy (works fine) 2. Authenticate users off Novell e-directory (works fine) 3. filter content using blacklists (works fine) 4. filter content based on user access - a field in LDAP (no idea how to get this to work) What I need is that Joe Manager is in group 'god' so he gets access to everything. While Mary Engineer is in group 'technical' and 'news' so she only gets access to sites that are the technical and news whitelists, BUT if the site is in the blacklists it gets blocked regardless of group. I'm stuck on how to get a filter solution that will query LDAP to get the groups for the users and then filter on that. Or is this something that should be done by Squid. I'm open to suggestions.
