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.
