Hello everyone,

I would like to get your opinions on the subject.

*Problem*: admin needs to manage squid acls (and icap web filter settings) using security groups from Active Directory. For non-technical reasons, setup of explicit proxy settings and thus enforcing proxy authentication on Squid is not possible.

*Solution*:

1.Deploy some agent on domain controller that would periodically enumerate workstation IPs and get currently logged on users by WMI or something like this. This is fine and already working in our project at https://github.com/diladele/active-directory-inspector

2.Let Squid somehow use the remote running inspector to match the IP address to user names (and expose the user name to ICAP eventually). May be anyone knows the type of helper/acl/annotation that needs to be in running/configured on the Squid box?


That kind of authorization is the purpose of the session and LDAP external ACL helpers. Though AFAIK neither of them uses the AD interface (YMMV if the Perl DB module can use AD as an SQL-like database).

You might be able to also be use the Basic auth LDAP helper from Squid-3.4+ as an external ACL helper. It will require some fiddling of the LDAP parameters and the ACL input format to make the external ACL input into the Basic-auth lookup.
