ext_lm_group_acl(8)ext_lm_group_acl(8)NAMEext_lm_group_acl - Squid external ACL helper to check Windows users
group membership.
Version 1.22
SYNOPSISext_lm_group_acl [-D domain ] [-cdhGP]
DESCRIPTIONext_lm_group_acl is an installed binary in Squid for Windows builds.
This helper must be used in with an authentication scheme (typically
Basic or NTLM) based on Windows NT/2000 domain users (LM mode).
It reads from the standard input the domain username and a list of
groups and tries to match each against the groups membership of the
specified username.
OPTIONS-c Use case insensitive compare.
-d Write debug info to stderr.
-D domain Specify the default user's domain.
-G Start helper in Domain Global Group mode.
-h Display the binary help and command line syntax info using
stderr.
-P Use ONLY PDCs for group validation.
CONFIGURATION
external_acl_type NT_global_group %LOGIN
c:/squid/libexec/ext_lm_group_acl.exe -G
external_acl_type NT_local_group %LOGIN
c:/squid/libexec/ext_lm_group_acl.exe
acl GProxyUsers external NT_global_group GProxyUsers
acl LProxyUsers external NT_local_group LProxyUsers
acl password proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow password GProxyUsers
http_access allow password LProxyUsers
http_access deny all
In the previous example all validated NT users member of GProxyUsers
Global domain group or member of LProxyUsers machine local group are
allowed to use the cache.
Groups with spaces in name, for example Domain Users , must be quoted
and the acl data ( Domain Users ) must be placed into a separate file
included by specifying /path/to/file The previous example will be:
acl ProxyUsers external NT_global_group "c:/squid/etc/Domai‐
nUsers.txt"
The DomainUsers.txt file will contain only the following line:
Domain Users
NOTE: The standard group name comparison is case sensitive, so group
name must be specified with same case as in the NT/2000 Domain. It's
possible to enable case insensitive group name comparison ( -c ), but
on some not-english locales, the results can be unexpected.
NOTE: Native WIN32 NTLM and Basic Helpers must be used without the -A
and -D switches.
Refer to Squid documentation for the more details on squid.conf.
TESTING
I strongly recommend that ext_lm_group_acl is tested prior to being
used in a production environment. It may behave differently on differ‐
ent platforms.
To test it, run it from the command line. Enter username and group
pairs separated by a space (username must entered with URL-encoded
domain%5Cusername syntax). Press ENTER to get an OK or ERR message.
Make sure pressing CTRL+D behaves the same as a carriage return.
Make sure pressing CTRL+C aborts the program.
Test that entering no details does not result in an OK or ERR message.
Test that entering an invalid username and group results in an ERR mes‐
sage.
Test that entering an valid username and group results in an OK mes‐
sage.
