The Ident Protocol is designed to work as a server daemon, on a user's computer, where it receives requests to a specified port, generally 113, the server will then send a specially designed response that identifies the username of the current user.

How it works in iSAKv1

Each user must have an Ident server running. When Squid receives a web request, it will ask the Ident server who is currently logged in. Once the user is identified, Squid sends the web request to SquidGuard. Based on the username and the filtering rules, SquidGuard will accept or redirect the request to an explanation page.
