Hello, I have the following 2 questions: 1. I have setup Squid 3.0 STABLE 9 without https / transparent proxy options (i.e., configure WITHOUT "--with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl", "--enable-ssl" and "--enable-????-transparent" options) and it appears to work fine using the squidclient. But after I rerun configure with the "--with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl" and "--enable-ssl" options, "squid -k parse squid.conf" gives me the following errors: 2008/12/26 06:42:07| Processing Configuration File: /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf (depth 0) 2008/12/26 06:42:07| aclParseAccessLine: ACL name 'manager' not found. FATAL: Bungled squid.conf line 629: http_access allow manager localhost Squid Cache (Version 3.0.STABLE9): Terminated abnormally. I would like to be able to get past the above mentioned errors before I modify the config file further. The squid.conf is the one that "make install" generated - the only line I added was for the visible_hostname to set to the name of the machine where I have squid installed. As the squid.conf is pretty large, I have pasted the relevant lines below -- acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl localnet src 10.0.0.0/8 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl localnet src 172.16.0.0/12 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl localnet src 192.168.0.0/16 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl SSL_ports port 443 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager # Deny requests to unknown ports http_access deny !Safe_ports # Deny CONNECT to other than SSL ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localnet If I comment out the following lines (just to see what happens): #http_access allow manager localhost #http_access deny manager then it gives me the error: 2008/12/26 06:52:49| Processing Configuration File: /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf (depth 0) 2008/12/26 06:52:49| aclParseAccessLine: ACL name 'Safe_ports' not found. FATAL: Bungled squid.conf line 632: http_access deny !Safe_ports Squid Cache (Version 3.0.STABLE9): Terminated abnormally. Could someone please tell what I could be doing wrong here. If you need the entire squid.conf file (or other relevant entries within the squid.conf file), please let me know. 2. Where I work, we have an equipment from F5 for load balancing and certificate management - so I guess it will decrypt the https request and send it off to the Squid server (after the F5 rules are in place). In this scenario, do we even need to worry about setting up Squid with https or transparent proxying enabled (as I understand it, https will not work with transparent proxying), but in our scenario, I guess the F5 rules will take care of transparent proxying and since the F5 will decrypt and send the request to the Squid server, I suppose I don't need to worry about https either. Am I correct in saying that if we have Squid setup to work with http requests alone without transparent proxy, it will able to handle https requests as well, given our setup? If I need transparent proxy with http, do I would have to run configure with one of the following options (i.e., it is not enabled by default, yeah?): --enable-ipfw-transparent --enable-ipf-transparent --enable-pf-transparent --enable-linux-netfilter --enable-linux-tproxy Thanks much for your help.
