I have squid server running in transparent mode.
The scenario is:
1)
As the user sends any http request all the port 80 traffic will be redirected to squid server.
2)The Squid Server will then throw a page(jsp or cgi) on the users screen where he will enter the username and password.
3) Now as we want do authentication on the basis of username, Password, IPAddress and MAC Address this CGI/PERL script will extract user's machine MAC and IPAddress and send it to the squid server along with username and password.
4)squid will forward these parameters to another server and wait for response. if user is authenticated he will be allowed to pass throw to acces the page he reqested.

-----Please suggest me as to how I shall proceed as I am new to Squid.
