RE: [squid-users] ldap auth testing

What did you type at the prompt? It seems like a parameter is missing.
(perhaps the authentication method)
ldapsearch --help
gives a list of options.

Thanks for the info. When I run ldapsearch I get the following message:

SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: unknown authentication method (86)
      additional info: SASL(-4): no mechanism available:

Any thoughts?

Go to the source code's helper/basic_auth/LDAP directory and check out the
README there. Run the ldap auth helper outside of squid, and see if you are
reaching the ldap server or do a ldapsearch to make sure you can reach the
ldap directory. (man ldapsearch)

From my experience, and from what I've read in this list, it makes sense to
make sure the helper works outside of the squid process. If it doesn't work
there, it sure won't work within squid:)

I restarted squid with the command options listed, but I don't get any ldap
info. I don't get any info at all. Here is what the access.log file
lists:

1090917920.557 22 10.5.200.201 TCP_DENIED/407 1765 GET
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/start/ ctdlaptop NONE/- text/html

The login dialog box returns pretty quick. Is there a way to determine if I
am even talking to the ldap server?

I usually start squid with a

./squid -N -d1

While testing stuff out. It make for a simple ctrl-c to stop it and change
the config file around. Your squid/var/log or wherever you specified you
wanted log files to go will have info too.

I am running squid2.5.stable5 on suse 9.0. I am trying to test my ldap
connection. Is there a log file somewhere that I can see what is going on
with the connection? I read a post the other day where they had re-compiled
squid with debug markers (probably not the right term). Do I need to do that
for ldap? The ldap source has messages, are they being written somewhere?
