[squid-users] Transparent proxying + LDAP authentication

Hi Everyone,

I have looked through the FAQs but could not find an answer to my
doubts.

I was wondering whether the following scenario can be implemented or
not:

- A user logs on a Win 2K box authenticated via an LDAP server
- Opens up a browser that has NOT been configured to use a
  proxy server for web access (transparent proxying comes into
  play behind the scenes)
- When the user accesses an external site (i.e. outside the
  local intranet) he does NOT have to enter a username and a
  password for authenticating with the proxy server
- The proxy administrator can generate reports and view
  surfing habits on a per user basis

What I am mainly doubtful about is whether the user identity can flow
transparently from NT user logon to the proxy authentication stage.

Any help will be much appreciated.
