[squid-users] R: Re: [squid-users] Squid - ldap auth against active directory 2008 R2

Thanks a lot for you reply!
this gives me a bit of courage...

well, I made
some test from a opensuse machine and it looks like it works...
now, if i look
at the process monitor with dependencies and thread on the original machine i
have
owner process id
root squid 5037
   |
   |
   squid
squid 4033
      |
      |
      |
      squid squid-ldap 10370

..........

I must say that i also mixed up the squid version: i´m using 3.0
Stable 9.

Do you think it´s cause the helper run under squid?
Should i insert
squid in the root group?

Thank in advance.
