Install openLDAP server on pfsense

openldappfsense

I have a pfsense router with 25 clients ( linux and windows ). I want to filter the internet traffic for some of the clients using squid guard. I have researched the options and I would like to use openLDAP for auth on each client and squid filtering.
I have browsed the pfsense documentation and all I can find is connecting pfense with external openLDAP server but not installing openLDAP on pfSense.

pfSense is a firewall and it should stay a firewall. Increasing the attack surface by installing other kind of software isn't a very good idea.

Run the OpenLDAP server on different hardware. Using it for 25 users is a very lightweight task that can run on quite a small machine or VM.
