NAME¶
squid_unix_group - Squid UNIX Group external_acl helper
SYNOPSIS¶
squid_unix_group [-g groupname] [-g groupname...] [-p] [-s]
DESCRIPTION¶
This helper allows Squid to base access controls on users memberships in UNIX
groups.
- -g groupname
- 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 \
separated)
EXAMPLES¶
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/local/squid/libexec/squid_unix_group -p
- acl usergroup1 external unix_group group1
- acl usergroup2 external unix_group group2 group3
NOTES¶
By default up to 11 groups can be matched in one acl (including commandline
specified groups). This limit is defined by MAX_GROUPS in the source code.
