squid_unix_group(8)squid_unix_group(8)NAMEsquid_unix_group - Squid UNIX Group external_acl helper
SYNOPSISsquid_unix_group [-g groupname] [-g groupname...] [-p]
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
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.
