Re: [squid-users] User Authentication

You will need

   * A database/registry of some kind where you keep the session timers

   * A web server which can run CGI scripts or similar, updating the
registry on successful login.

   * A redirector helper to Squid monitoring the sessions and redirecting
users to the login page if the session for their station have expired.

Henrik
