AD groups Hi From my experience with NTLM and AD this is the best way we found to implement group membership : ntlm_auth already has a mechanism to provide this its just that the doco is difficult to follow. squid.conf : auth_param basic program /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-basic --require-membership-of="our_ad_domain\\proxyusers_group" auth_param ntlm program /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp --require-membership-of="our_ad_domain\\proxyusers_group" where our_ad_domain = the AD domain where proxyusers_group = the group of users allowed to access the proxy We found that \\ and " must be included for this top work correctly.
