[squid-users] FakeAuth windows build?

Hi,

I am looking to provide an "invisible" challenge to users broswers to get
their user/password details and authenticate that against LDAP.

I notice that in the v3 (or 3.1?) build of Squid, the FakeAuth helper has an
option to strip the domain from windows users, which should do what I want.
However, there is currently no Windows build available with this option.

Now, I don't want to put undue stress on anyone (because I appreciate you
are (nearly?) all volunteers), so I don't mind, but I am wondering if anyone
is able to either:

a) be willing to compile and provide a windows executable of a versions of
FakeAuth which has the -S (strip domain) option (assuming it will work with
Squid 2.7 - I am willing to give it a go if no-one sees a reason why not)

or

b) give some guidelines how I can build/compile just the FakeAuth helper for
windows (given I haven't done any decent C programming in over a decade, and
even that was small-fry stuff...).

Alternatively - any other options of providing an "invisible" challenge to
users, which I can then authenticate against LDAP?

Any help or advice appreciated!

Regards,
Dion
