I am trying to do the same thing. OWA works, but so far no joy with RPCoHTTP. Do I have to do something in OL to make it accept the certificate? The cert's are purchased from godaddy.com. For each, I appended the bundled gd_intermediate to the domain cert. Also, in the example config for OWA, I am confused by the following: acl OWA dstdomain owa_hostname cache_peer_access owa_hostname allow OWA Doesn't the 2nd line just grant access from owa_hostname to owa_hostname ?? My current config (which works for OWA, but not RPCoHTTP): extension_methods RPC_IN_DATA RPC_OUT_DATA https_port public_ip_for_owa:443 cert=/usr/share/ssl/owa/combined.crt key=/usr/share/ssl/owa/owa.key defaultsite=owa.tld.com https_port public_ip_for_rpc:443 cert=/usr/share/ssl/rpc/combined.crt key=/usr/share/ssl/rpc/rpc.key defaultsite=rpc.tld.com cache_peer ip_of_exchange parent 80 0 no-query originserver front-end-https=auto login=PASS acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 563 acl CONNECT method CONNECT acl OWA dstdomain owa.tld.com acl RPC dstdomain rpc.tld.com http_access allow manager localhost http_access allow OWA http_access allow RPC http_access deny manager http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access deny to_localhost http_access allow localhost http_access deny all http_reply_access allow all icp_access deny all miss_access allow OWA miss_access allow RPC miss_access deny all cache_peer_access ip_of_exhcange allow OWA cache_peer_access ip_of_exhcange allow RPC cache_peer_access ip_of_exhcange deny all never_direct allow OWA never_direct allow RPC Thanks again, Alan Lehman > -----Original Message----- > From: Odhiambo Washington [mailto:odhiambo@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Monday, June 02, 2008 11:41 AM > To: Squid users > Subject: Re: Is it possible to have squid as do Proxy and > OWA/RPCoHTTPS accelerator? > > On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 7:27 PM, Henrik Nordstrom > <henrik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On mån, 2008-06-02 at 13:41 +0300, Odhiambo Washington wrote: > >> (actually, this is supposed to be the only entry for cache_peer I am > >> goingto have?) > > > > If you only have one server, and that server is only talking http > then > > yes there is only a single cache_peer.. > > Understood. > > >> That has worked.
