Greetings ! I configured Squid+LDAP which works fine, but passwords are sent in plain text format over LAN. I need to send the passwords over SSL. In this regard, I have two questions. 1) I have read that SSL encryption can be achieved from proxy server to ldap server only. How can I achieve from browser to proxy server ? 2) I created a cert in /etc/openldap/cacerts/cert.pem. How do I tell squid_ldap_auth to use this cert and encrypt the password. (my ldap server listens on 389,636 ports). I also tried with -Z option from the command line, But I get "Could not Activate TLS connection" echo "user pass" | /usr/lib/squid/squid_ldap_auth -Z -v 3 -h x.x.x.x -D "cn=3DDirectory Manager" -w "****" -b "ou=3D**,dc=3D***,dc=3Dcom" -f = 'cn=3D%s' -d Could not Activate TLS connection Please help me in out configuring. Thanks in advance. Bhagwan
