this is perfect working for squid ldap authentication, my query is that we have any perl or cgi script which can change users password from anywhere.

I got this error too,

and I’m pretty sure it’s a permission issue. As the LDAP server from LDAP won’t let you see (read) the userPassword Attribute.

Should we create a squid user on ldap, give him the permission to read userPassword and uid ?

any idea is welcome,
Zied.

Hello.
I’m trying to auth against zimbra with this command :

/usr/lib64/squid/squid_ldap_auth -v 3 -b dc=zimbra,dc=mydomain,dc=com,dc=br -f “(&(uid=%s)(objectClass=zimbraAccount))” -h myserver.mydomain.com.br

after inserting user pass and user@domain I get this answer.

squid_ldap_auth: WARNING, LDAP search error ‘No such object’
ERR Success

could you help me, please?

Ehi! If you have any problem, start to try with -v 3 instead of ldap version 2.
I could bind to my ldap server in reason of this.
It is a good start this try:
# /usr/lib/squid/ldap_auth -b “dc=mydc” -D cn=admin,dc=mydc -w passwd -H ldap://ldapserver -v 3 -f “uid=%s”

when typed name and password you must see
OK. Be sure to have typed name and password with a blank separator.
