Does it have a specific name? "CAS" is like saying "proxy" - it is a type. What type(s) of authentication is it doing? What APIs does it provide for checking credentials validity? What APIs does it provide for initial user login? Note that all of those 'What ...' questions are plural. Authenticators tend to have multiple APIs for each activity. > 1) redirect the navigation to the CAS site, > 2) let the user input login/password, > 3) then, after successfull login, check with PHP all nnecessary > permissions, FWIW: my advice is to avoid PHP for Squid helpers. That language has problems keeping helpers running long-term. <https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/AddonHelpers#What_language_are_helper_meant_to_be_written_in.3F> > 4) proceed with Squid Proxy. > > I can't understand how to code Squid configuration and PHP helpers. > I have seen here > http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/Need-help-for-ACL-Authentication-web-Form-Cookies-td4555576.html > > But I cannot understand how to make it work.

The conversation you found David and I are mentioning BerkleyDB and SQL helpers. Those are the "CAS" we use. The squid.conf part is essentially what you see in that thread. You will need a helper to access whatever the CAS database is (via any API it provides for that access).
