Hello, I hope I can ask this question properly.
Currently I have squid-3 configured to authenticate user to access the proxy. I assume that squid binds the authenticated username with the thread or session id, is this correct? I also have squidGuard working as a redirector. I do not want to mess with acl in squidGuard. Now, what I would like to do is NOT require authentication to squid, but be able to have a user login to to a system that I am writing that will allow them to override the squidGuard redirection call in redirectStart. The way I would like to work this is when the user submits a username and password to go into override mode, squid will add this user to authenticateUserRequestUsername(http->request->auth_user_request and bind it to the current session id or thread. Then each time through redirectStart, squid just check to see if authenticateUserRequestUsername(http->request->auth_user_request is !NULL. If !NULL, then bypass redirect call. The question here is can I bind an 'authenticated user' to an existing session/thread in squid? Thanks, Murrah Boswell
