[squid-users] auth_param username rewrite

Hi pplz,

I am a newbie to this list so be nice if none of this is making a lot
of sense.

I have a very large amount of customers which log into a squid farm
(load balanced) and request authentication.
I have no problems with this..

Currently a user must log in using a username@domain to authenticate.
This works fine but as time goes by I end up with a large amount of
users wishing that they could drop the domain authentication from the
auth request.

I would like to do this but I have hit a brick wall in regards to how
to handle multiple matching usernames (and passwords unfortunetly)
without a domain.

I have a structured list of ip addresses which match these domains but
of course I cannot parse the %SRC to the auth_param.

I was wondering if anybody had a solution which would include either.

A) allowing %SRC to be passed with <username> <password> to the auth
helper

OR

B) a way of rewriting the username passed to the helper to include the
source.. eg <username>@%SRC <password>

I might be looking at this wrong but all the things that I have looked
at so far have said that squid will not pass any args to the auth
helper at all.

Any help/pointers/feedback would be great.

Thanks

Scott
