ProXimus is an open source enterprise scale solution to manage access control for the Squid proxy server http://www.squid-cache.org/.

It offers a web-based management interface to easily configure access rules for users. It is integrated into Squid as a redirector program.

Features

ProXimus offers the following:

Access Rules....

• ... can be configured globally (so they are valid for every user)
• ... can be assigned to locations and groups (each user is assigned to a location; additionally it can also be member of a group)
• ... do have priorities (the rule with the highest priority wins)
• ... can have defined times in which they are valid (e.g. allow surfing during lunch break from 12 to 1pm)
• ... can be "Noauth-Rules" (means: sites where no authentication is required)
• ... can be dynamically added / learned as the user requests it beta
• ... can trigger eMails being sent to the User and Admin if access is denied

Enterprise ready...

• example scripts are provided to sync users from the Active Directory to the Proximus user database
• Proximus is highly scale-able (at my company it runs on about 40 proxy servers around the world)

Administration....

• multiple administrative accounts
• Admins can be Global-Admins (allowed to change everything)
• ... or Location-Admin (only allowed to change rules within on or more locations)
