[squid-users] Digest Authentication in Squid through LDAP in Windows 2003 DC

Hi,

Please, I need some help about Digest Authentication.
We made a new server in our enterprise, using "Fedora 7" (64 bits).
We have Squid 3, installed, and we need to authenticate our users in one of
the DC's (Windows 2003 Server DC).
The problem:
We started configuring Squid with basic authentication; it worked fine, but
we got the user's password through "Ethereal Software". This is a problem
here, because we have a lot of students and teachers that we need to
guarantee security to them and against them.
So we tried "digest authentication", and our problem started. Our tests
failed, and we didn't find any documentation about how to implement
"digest_ldap_auth" to check the username and password.
We don't know if our idea about digest authentication is right or wrong. We
imagine that we can simply authenticate in "Windows 2003 Server DC" (as
basic authentication does), without store the user's passord into the Linux
Server. Is that possible? If yes, where can I find instructions about how to
use it?
If you can help us about this, and even if our idea about digest
authentication between Squid and Windows 2003 Server is wrong, it would be
very nice.
I would like to thank you for your time, and sorry for any inconvenience.

Regards,
