NAME
ext_unix_group_acl - Squid UNIX Group ACL helper
SYNOPSIS
ext_unix_group_acl [-d] [-g group ] [-g group ...] [-p] [-s]
DESCRIPTION
ext_unix_group_acl allows Squid to base access controls on users mem-
berships in UNIX groups.
OPTIONS
-d Write debug info to stderr. -g group Specifies a group name to
match.
-p Also match the users primary group from /etc/passwd
-s Strip NT domain name component from user names (/ or \ sepa-
rated)
CONFIGURATION
This squid.conf example defines two Squid acls. usergroup1 matches
users in group1 , and usergroup2 matches users in group2 or group3
external_acl_type unix_group %LOGIN /usr/lo-
cal/squid/libexec/ext_unix_group_acl -p
acl usergroup1 external unix_group group1
acl usergroup2 external unix_group group2 group3
By default up to 11 groups can be matched in one acl (including comman-
dline specified groups). This limit is defined by MAX_GROUPS in the
source code.
KNOWN ISSUES
Does not understand GID aliased groups sometimes used to work around
groups size limitations. If you are using GID aliased groups then you
must specify each alias by name.
