Re: [squid-users] Sending on Group names after Kerb LDAP look-up

Amos,

Thanks for your help - you are right in that the connector has the ability to receive and manipulate ICAP, and using an NTLM authenticated user allows me to do the thing I need. All was nearly lost.

However, if I change to Kerberos authentication on my Squid then the connector breaks because it receives the user name as an UPN. Is it possible to send just the first part of the authenticated user (i.e. Username?) and not include the domain?

I read something interesting here: http://markmail.org/message/u3yoiykwkaykreoz about using string substitutions (%U, %N etc) Is this achievable with Squid? This could be the final piece in my puzzle...

Thanks,

Nick

I don't think so.
  There is a lot of manipulation magic you can do with the ICAP or eCAP
interfaces that is not possible directly in Squid though.

The risk is breaking back-end services that can't handle the altered
header. Since you say below about already doing so, I assume this is a
non-risk for your network.

You can do transparent login pass-thru to the peer (login=PASS). You can
log Squid-3.1 into the peer with kerberos credentials.
  But I do not think the Kerberos details get decoded to a
username/password for Squid to pass back as a pair.

No. Plans are for all network-specific adaptation to be done via
external helper processes. The *CAP interfaces for add-on modules allow
all the adaptation extras to be plugged in as needed in a very powerful way.
  Check that AV tool, it likely has an ICAP interface Squid-3 can plug
into already.
