Authentication problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear Developpers and Community,

I would like to set up the following configuration using squid:

When a user asks for a web page he is transparently redirected to
squid, where an authentication must be done before serving the user
with content.

However, users IP are being NATed before going to the proxy. So the
solution would be to use an application-layer verification: cookies or
http headers

So, I come across the following solutions:

1. Use an ICAP server which checks if a cookie is set, otherwise set
it for an authenticated user
 the problem is: cookies are bound to domains + each http request must
be validated

2. Use a php splash page which sets the cookie then redirect to destination
 same problem as ICAP

3. using squid authentication and checking if Proxy-Authorization
header is set before serving the client
  problem: sessions are associated to the IP by squid

I'm using squid 3.1

Thank you for any idea
