Re: External Auth

Just to chime in, we also use the authenticator to check quota as well as authentication. I cannot
see a better way to do this with Squid at present.

I would certainly like to pass the client IP address to the authenticator as well, since the
person's location can determine their quota allowance. Some departments want to pay more than
others.

Thanks,

Andrew.
