Re: LDAP authentication

Ilker,

I found this mail from the archive and tried to simulate having my users
authenticated first but I always get a 'Proxy Authentication failed"
error. even though my ldap server name is correct. What do you think
is wrong.

authenticate_program /usr/local/squid/bin/squid_ldap_auth
myldapservername

acl ldap proxy_auth REQUIRED

http_access allow ldap
http_access deny all

Please help

Joel
