Chris, this works great! One note to anyone trying it... if you have 'winbind separator = \' in your smb.conf, this works.. but it does matter. I banged my head on this for about 15 minutes and then change my auth-param line to read --require-membership-of="our_ad_domain+proxyusers_group".. because my winbind line is 'winbind separator = +' Works great Chris, thanks again! ----- Original Message ---- From: chris brain <chris.brain@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2008 10:26:15 PM Subject: Re: if this is posted somewhere.. please tell me where to go... 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.
