squid_ldap_match is an earlier name for squid_ldap_group. It was the
working name of this helper while developed at MARA Systems AB, later
changed to squid_ldap_group when the helper was incorporated into the
Squid distribution as group matching is the most common use of this
helper.

For a while the helper was maintained under both names with only a name
change, but these days I have selected to only maintain the version
included in the Squid sources. I have now updated the squid_ldap_match
page to reflect this.

Man pages is included with the source for all three:

   squid_ldap_match:

      http://marasystems.com/download/LDAP_Group/

   squid_ldap_auth:

      squid-2.5.STABLE9/helpers/basic_auth/LDAP/

   squid_ldap_group:

      squid-2.5.STABLE9/helpers/external_acl/ldap_group/

and is automatically installed on your system when you select to install
the binary.. usually into the directory /path/to/squid/man/man8/, together
with the other Squid man pages.
