I need to (ASAP, as usual) fire up a proxy server. I would prefer a Un*x based solution rather that MS Proxy server, but need to plan for the future. Squid seems to be the (proxy) drug of choice. That future holds several hundred users that I'd much rather manage the username/passwd from a centralized location (LDAP!). I've gleaned the docs for Squid and can find nothing that indicates that users can be authenticated from an LDAP server. LDAP seems to be the only choice I could try to use that all of our other corporate services (AS/400, Notes, NT Domains, Netware) can share. The purpose of the proxy server is not actually to cache and conserve bandwidth, but as a means to limit access from our corporate network to the internet. So far this has been accomplished quite well by a POS/486 runnning FreeBsd/ipfw/natd. I'm tired of adding rules to rc.firewall plus NT Domains w/DHCP doesn't actually limit people. All they have to do is go to a machine that gets an (ipfw) allowed address from DHCP and they're on. Hints? Clues? Experiences?
