But if I can suggest something, the man page sould be updated to explicitly say that squid_ldap_auth wait for a couple of login/passwd separated by a space. Maybe I'm stupid but a spend many hours to understand that...
This is documented in the auth_param directive in squid.conf, which defines the scope squid_ldap_auth is working under..
"program" cmdline Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a program reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or "ERR" in an endless loop.
And also in the Squid FAQ at a number of places.
But yes, adding a small section to the squid_ldap_auth manpage on how to test the function of the helper outside of Squid would be useful. Suggestions on what to say is welcome, preferably as a patch to the manpage source (yes I am a lazy person).
