Hello, I am setting up Squid to enable users to use it as a web proxy server. My problem is how to enable encrypted user authentication.
Please also note that I also tried using Squid + Stunnel to achieve secure user authentication, according to these directions: http://www.jeffyestrumskas.com/index.php/how-to-setup-a-secure-web-proxy-using-ssl-encryption-squid-caching-proxy-and-pam-authentication/ (except that I used ldap auth on the backend).
It worked, but performance was *very* slow (practically awful), and I couldn't find any solution to improve performance. Squid without stunnel worked like a breeze (but without secure/encrypted user authentication)...
I am using Centos 5.6 x86_64 with squid 3.1.8. I used stunnel 4.29 (installed from CentOS repos) and I also tried with stunnel 4.39 compiled from source.
In all cases, I couldn't overcome the problem, so I ruled out this solution. I am hoping for your feedback. Nick
