Re: [squid-users] Re: squid client authentication against AD computer account

Does any of the authentication methods include the computer name in
the authentication tokens?? I can setup any auth method if any of it
supports it. I basically want to authenticate client computers by the
hostname as registered in the AD.

Thanks everyone.
