We're using squid with freeradius as the authentication "engine". As far as I know, you can't have a transparent + authenticating proxy. If it's authenticating, then it has to be non-transparent.
It's actually very easy. You just need to set up the Squid ACL's right (so that it requires auth). Then you set Squid's external authentication helper. We're using a simple (40 lines) PERL script which does the authentication. It uses a PERL radius module. I'm not even sure where I got the script. I think I got it off of Squid's site. If you can't find it, let me know, and I can e-mail it to you. The system works great for us. - Dan On Wed, 2003-06-04 at 11:32, Wei Ming Long wrote: Hi everyone, I would like to use the proxy server Squid to perform transparent proxying and to authenticate http requests with Freeradius and was wondering if anyone has done it and would appreciate it if you could provide details(configuration files) of how to setup Squid and Freeradius to do just that.
