However, once in a while the squidGuard logs would report: <br><br> <tt><font size=-1>2008-09-03 09:18:53 [2962] (squidGuard): ldap_search_ext_s failed: Operations error (params: dc=ticgroup,dc=local, 2, (&(memberof=CN=InternetGeneral,OU=Groups,OU=Altona,DC=ticgroup,DC=local) (sAMAccountName=awalker)), sAMAccountName) </font></tt> <br><br> Which would result in a blocked page, and the user would have to close the browser and wait a few minutes before resuming happily. Minor inconvenience, but not too bad. <br><br> However, yesterday, for no apparent reason, this error started happening on EVERY account, so nobody could access the web. <br><br> To cut a long story short, I think that the Windows Active Directory server which was being searched by SquidGuard started generating referrals to other systems (for more complete information) for any searches in the active directory at the root level (although for lower levels it was happy to supply the information with no referrals, I really don't know why, I'm just treading water at this depth), and the system did not have the credentials/trusts/whatever (Kerberos?) setup required to follow the referral to wherever it needed to go (don't ask me where, I still don't fully understand this). <br><br> The workaround/solution was to stop using a regular AD server to perform the searches and go straight to the domain Controller (is there really such a thing in AD?) and query the Global Catalog on port 3268 instead of the regular LDAP query port of 389. Apparently the Global catalog does not do referrals, it just supplies all of the information itself (Thank you Global Catalog). Maybe just setting up Kerberos properly would be a better solution, but that's in the "too hard" basket at the moment. <br><br> So my search line in the squidguard.conf changed from: <br><br> <center> <tt> <div style=width:550px;overflow:auto> <table width="550px" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: #f2fff0; border: solid 1px #4455bb;"> <tr><td> <font size=-1> ldapusersearch ldap://ticmelb1/dc=ticgroup,dc=local?sAMAccountName?sub?(&(memberof=CN=InternetGeneral%2cOU=Groups%2cOU=Altona%2cDC=ticgroup%2cDC=local)(sAMAccountName=%s)) </font> </td></tr> </table> </div> </tt></center> <br> to: <br><br> <center> <tt> <div style=width:550px;overflow:auto> <table width="550px" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: #f2fff0; border: solid 1px #4455bb;"> <tr><td> <font size=-1> ldapusersearch ldap://tic_group_dc.ticgroup.local:3268/dc=ticgroup,dc=local?sAMAccountName?sub?(&(memberof=CN=InternetGeneral%2cOU=Groups%2cOU=Altona%2cDC=ticgroup%2cDC=local)(sAMAccountName=%s)) </font> </td></tr> </table> </div> </tt></center> <br> and now the system is happy again. <br><br> Hope this helps somebody.
