Re: [squid-users] Authenticator protocol extensions

The external_acl scheme appears to provide more flexibility in
determining whether a user is allow access or not.

I have a need to check more of the user information and potentially
redirect under certain conditions. That is, if the users' password is
about to expire redirect them to a page that allows them to change it.
[Why? Its a long story.....]

I thought that the way to do it would do the test in the auth program,
e.g. using an external_acl, and perhaps have three valid responses [OK,
ERR & EXPIRED]. I would then need to deal with the additional
response...

It looked like the authinfo project was heading this way - is/was that
true?

Seems to be some kind of communication problem within the SourceForge
servers prevending development patches to be downloaded via the web..
will try to get this resolved (applies to all Squid development
projects).

Notes:

The authinfo project is stale and has not been maintained for some
time. Probably only works with Squid-2.4 without modifications.

Some of the functionality of authinfo has been partially replaced by
the external_acl scheme of Squid-2.5 and later.
