Hi

Did anyone else ever thought of bringing parts or the whole Squid-Config
into LDAP?

LDAP doesn't fit very well for storing whole configs.

The only thing I found right now was authentification via LDAP.

You also have authorization via squid_ldap_group, and despite it's name
it can actually be used for a wide range of authorization lookups, not
just group lookups..

I have several squid-running with mostly the same configuration. What I
would like to do is to have just one configuration and generate the
productiv configuration which just differs in ip-addr and which neighbours
to contact out of this central configuration?

Many do this with simple preprocessing of the config, using cpp, m4 or
another simple macro processor, and distributing the config file data to
the proxies with rsync or similar.

Has anyone ever done something similar?

I didn't have the need for such a setup. But what about a shell script using a
configuration template and just modifying what needs to be different? Should
be fairly easy to develop.

Sure, it would. On the other side of the configration there are not highly
skilled admins which have to change for examples the ACLs for website which
are allowed or not.
When the configuration is in LDAP I can just give them a webinterface
for managing that stuff in the LDAP-Directory :-)
