IPCOP 1.4.x has an advanced proxy addon that can authenticate against LDAP, 
Active Directory, or a local database. Unfortunately it won't work with COP+.  

I personally was not able to get it to authenticate against my AD, but I 
didn't have any time to play, and really am not that experienced with Linux 
networking. 

I have noticed that when COP+ can't update its blacklists it seems to take the 
whole proxy server down.
