Hello Alfonso

Perhaps you found on the net a little documentation about it,
i.e. : http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Authenticate/Ldap

But I recommend you to start learning how to use ldapsearch command
by using a simple "man� ldapsearch", and also to read about the ldap service.
( ldapsearch command is provided by openldap-client package in a few
GNU/Linux distributions)

That could help you a lot, because you could retrieve information about the
user records on the ldap database, once you know which attributes has a
user schema, then you could easily guest what squid is asking about on the
squid auth helper.

Happy ldap searching

Regards
