FW: [squid-users] Configuring SQUID in Windows to authenticate with Active Directory

Hi Guido,

Thank you for your email. I added the .exe extension and now squid starts without any errors. However, I have a feeling that it does not talk to Micosoft Active Directory to authenticate users - if I key in an arbitary value for the -w "password" option, squid still starts. I was expecting to see an error.

cache.log has the following entry:
2011/01/27 16:51:09| Accepting proxy HTTP connections at 0.0.0.0, port 3128, FD 14.
Is that normal?

Also if I try to use a browser (I used Firefox)- it prompts for user credentials, but if I use any usernames in Microsoft Active Directory it does not authenticate against those usernames. The browser keeps on promptimng for a username and a password. access.log is filled with TCP_DENIED/407 errors.

Any assistance is muchly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards

Lakshman

Hi,

You must add the .exe extension after squid_ldap_auth as noted in the
documentation.
