RE: LDAP authentication

The authenticate_option is used to the older squid version. You should
remove it. Try in the squid.conf:

authenticate_program /usr/local/squid/bin/squid_ldap_auth <ldap_server_name>

Good luck..

Subject: LDAP authentication

OK. We have been running squid for a while now with the
ncsa_auth authentication. This is fine as it goes, but we would l
ike to take advantage of our LDAP server for this purpose.

I have been trying to set this up using the external authentication
programs mentioned in the FAQ. Neither has been working for me.
Here is what I see:

1) The ldap_auth.c program. The instructions indicate that the
following line needs to be in squid.conf:

authenticate_options ldapserver.foo.bar 389 xxx uid

When this is there however squid start up with the error:

parseConfigFile: line 642 unrecognized: 'authenticate_options
ldapserver.foo.bar 389 xxx uid'

Should this work or is there something different that I should do?

2) With the squid_auth_ldap program, when I try to run make on it
I get an error about no rule to make target.

Sorry if these are basic questions but I don't see them in the list
archives.
(Of course I'm open to trying any other solution that works!)

BTW This is squid 2.3STABLE51on a RedHat machine.

Thanks,

david.
