[squid-users] Squid + Webmarshal

Hey all.

I've done lots of searching and haven't been able to find examples of
this particular scenario so I'm putting it to you guys for help.

Basically, my boss has me setting up a Squid server for our company's
primarily Microsoft-based network (We use Active Directory). We've
already got a proxy server set up running Webmarshal. Webmarshal takes
care of all the filtering stuff based on Active Directory membership.

I'm implementing a Squid server to both cache (obviously) and to
throttle certain users using delay pools.

The original plan was to have Squid in front of Webmarshal, which
means Squid needs to be able to pass the AD credentials to Webmarshal.
The server itself is running Ubuntu 9.04 Server with
Squid-3.0.STABLE16 compiled with buckets enabled and is joined to our
AD domain through Likewise-Open. I'd like to create ACLs based on
user/group membership in AD, but IPs are fine if that isn't possible.
The main thing is that I -need- the credentials passed to Webmarshal
so that the user isn't prompted to enter their username and password
into their browser (this is how it acts prior to pointing it to
Squid).

Is this possible with my version of Squid? I've been trying to follow
examples and documentation on the web, but frequently run into
conflicting and/or outdated information. If so, can someone help me
out with an example or something? If not, should I just be putting
Squid behind Webmarshal?

Cheers,
Harley Willmott
