[squid-users] FW: Transparent proxy (WCCP) and LDAP authentication
I've been digging around while working on this and found a reference from someone 4 years ago that said that transparent proxy does not work with authentication. Is this true? I need to perform the following tasks: 1) Authenticate users against a windows AD 2) Transparent proxy (without the need to set browser settings at each computer). I'm looking at WCCP2 here 3) Log where people have gone for later review 4) Use a URL blacklist to block the majority of bad sites. Regards, Scott

Yes you can. I do this perfectly, but requires using SmartFilter (which I find offers the better content filtering than the competition). I have a full step by step doc if you want it.

Correction. There are a few confusing terms here. 'transparent' means different things when used to describe HTTP proxy actions and Active Directory authentication. *transparent interception* (the proxy term) and the way HTTP works prevents regular HTTP authentication methods being done. That is an absolute. Security feature in browser. etc. etc. *transparent* authentication (the AD term people seem to like. I assume they really mean invisible to the user) is one of the non-HTTP authentication methods that can under careful setup work. Amos Yes you can.
