Re: [squid-users] Squid and Active Directory

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the reply. Does this mean that I need to set up and run samba
server on the squid box? My company security team are against running samba
as they consider samba to be inherently insecure. Is there a way to run
squid with Active Directory for authentication without having to include
samba?

Thanks & regards

John
