You can use Squid with the Samba Winbind helper to have Squid authenticate
users against an ADS or standard domain (Samba3 supports Kerberos which is
required if connecting to a Win2003 Server). Only IE 5.5+ supports NTLM
'transparent' user credentials being passed from the browser to the proxy.
All other browsers will use basic authentication resulting in an input box
being displayed on the screen and the user details being sent clear text
from the browser to the proxy.
