I am not certain with my response, but I have some ideas. - Your ACL ordering, that is often the case, is most likely to blame. Squid applies ACL's in order, top-down, and checks each ACL in their order when "http_access" is being applied. - I believe the ACL blocking access may be the 'PURGE' ACL, since the server could be sending them "no-cache" headers. -- I may need clarification on this behavior from another person, but you can attempt to comment it out to see if this is true, or add something such as "http_access allow PURGE GoDaddy". - Any of your explicit "src / dstdomain" allows will not log usernames returned by the "InternetUsers" ACL. - Does the "Internet_Denied" and/or "FacebookUsers" nt_groups involve a login prompt, or blind authentication? - All Explicit allows / deny's should be placed _before_ authentication routines. >>> Damian Teasdale <damte@xxxxxxxx> 2/23/2011 1:27 PM >>> This is the whole list from what I can tell. acl PURGE method PURGE acl pdr dstdomain clients.performanceobjects.com acl Blackberry src 192.168.x.3 acl Citrix src 192.168.x.34 acl InternetDenied external nt_group Internet_Denied acl FacebookUsers external nt_group FacebookUsers acl Facebook dstdomain .facebook.com acl InternetUsers proxy_auth REQUIRED acl Itrade dstdomain .itradenetwork.com acl WindowsUpdate dstdomain .windowsupdate.microsoft.com .windowsupdate.com .download.microsoft.com .update.microsoft.com codecs.microsoft.com activex.microsoft.com crl.microsoft.com c.microsoft.com acl BusinessObjects dstdomain elmexternal.businessobjects.com acl Auditors src 192.168.x.122 192.168.x.126 192.168.x.128 192.168.x.108 acl MapInfo src 192.168.5.139 acl MindLeaders dstdomain .mindleaders.com acl DiscoverLink dstdomain .discoverlink.com acl Knotia dstdomain .knotia.ca acl Chep dstdomain .chep.com acl GC dstdomain .gc.ca acl GoDaddy dstdomain .godaddy.com http_access deny InternetDenied no_cache deny Itrade http_access allow PURGE localhost http_access deny PURGE http_access allow GC http_access allow Facebook FacebookUsers http_access deny Facebook http_access allow Blackberry http_access allow Citrix http_access allow WindowsUpdate http_access allow BusinessObjects http_access allow MapInfo http_access allow MindLeaders http_access allow DiscoverLink http_access allow Knotia http_access allow Chep http_access allow Auditors http_access allow pdr http_access allow GoDaddy http_access allow InternetUsers # And finally deny all other access to this proxy http_access deny all Thanks Damian Teasdale -----Original Message----- From: Chad Naugle [mailto:Chad.Naugle@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: February/23/2011 10:19 AM To: Damian Teasdale; 'squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Re: RDP, Certificates and Squid In order to troubleshoot, we will need your entire ACL / http_access portions copy/pasted, with sensitive portions edited, if need be. >>> Damian Teasdale <damte@xxxxxxxx> 2/23/2011 1:12 PM >>> Here is our environment: LAN users all go through the proxy for internet access, works fine. A few users need access to RDP to an external partners Terminal Server. The terminal server has a Certificate issued by GoDaddy.com. When the users on the LAN attempt to connect to the external Terminal Server I don't think that they can authenticate the certificate. I watch the access.log and I see these lines written: 1297896161.739 70 192.168.x.xTCP_DENIED/407 1962 GET http://certificates.godaddy.com/repository/gd_intermediate.crt - NONE/- text/html 1297896161.742 0 192.168.x.x TCP_DENIED/407 2158 GET http://certificates.godaddy.com/repository/gd_intermediate.crt - NONE/- text/html 1297896161.745 2 192.168.x.x TCP_DENIED/407 1962 GET http://certificates.godaddy.com/repository/gd_intermediate.crt - NONE/- text/html 1297896162.086 319 192.168.x.x TCP_DENIED/407 2055 GET http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab - NONE/- text/html 1297896162.089 0 192.168.x.x TCP_DENIED/407 2251 GET http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab - NONE/- text/html 1297896162.091 2 192.168.x.x TCP_DENIED/407 2055 GET http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab - NONE/- text/html I have tried putting in some acl's for this but it doesn't seem to make a difference, here are the acl's as I have them setup: acl GoDaddy dstdomain .godaddy.com http_access allow GoDaddy There are a lot of other acl's that we have setup but did not include them all, but could if needed. Any ideas about how to get this working? As a work around I have put in a separate ACL to allow that LAN computers IP address direct access and it works, but this is not ideal.
