It's been a few years since I've used Squid in a production environment and I wonder how much has changed. When last I used it, Squid was great but, it had one major(to me and my clients) shortcoming when compared to other caching proxies like Microsoft ISA and Novell BorderManager. While squid would filter on IP address quite nicely, filtering on userID or group was very difficult and impractical because it lacked transparent authentication whereas, ISA and BorderManager did it seemlessly.
So, my question is; Has squid changed to allow easy and seemless access control (transparent authentication) by user and group? In commercial offerings it is easy and straightforward to configure a particular user or group's ability to access particular URL's or other addresses and protocols. Can Squid do this, reliably and on multiple platforms(Windows & Linux), yet?
