Hello, I am trying to build squid configuration but i fail with delay pools for external_acl's. I am running squid for multiple ip addresses and I have authentication per src ip or user/pass. I try to do delay_pool configuration for src->dst pair to limit transfer speed per second. I am using ip_user_check plugin for it and it seems it works but i cannot see delay. Here is part of my config: #delayed clients external_acl_type ip_delay2 ttl=30 negative_ttl=30 %SRC %DST /usr/local/squid/libexec/ip_user_check -f /usr/local/squid/etc/delay.conf acl delay_acl external ip_delay2 http_reply_access deny delay_acl !delay_acl delay_pools 1 delay_class 1 1 delay_parameters 1 50/50 delay_access 1 allow delay_acl delay_access 1 deny all #http_access deny delay_acl #src + squid ip authentification external_acl_type src_user ttl=300 negative_ttl=300 %MYADDR %SRC /usr/local/squid/libexec/ip_user_check -f /usr/local/squid/etc/src.conf acl src_users external src_user %MYADDR %SRC http_access allow src_users #user/pass auth auth_param basic program /usr/local/squid/libexec/ncsa_auth /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.pass auth_param basic children 2 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours auth_param basic casesensitive off acl ncsa_users proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access deny !ncsa_users #checking if user from above can access this squid ip external_acl_type ip_user ttl=300 negative_ttl=300 %MYADDR %LOGIN /usr/local/squid/libexec/ip_user_check -f /usr/local/squid/etc/ip.conf acl ip_users external ip_user %MYADDR %LOGIN http_access deny !ip_users In debug i can see that when i am trying to access %SRC -> %DST which matches my delay.conf file delay_acl returns 1. But i don't see any download slow down (i put there 50/50 to really see the limitation). But if i uncomment line #http_access deny delay_acl - request is denied - so i can verify that delay_acl works fine. Where is my mistake? I tried also to change delay_acl for normal (not external one) with : acl delay_acl src my_ip , and for this configuration delay_pools works fine limiting transfer speed. So it seems there is a problem with external_acl and delay_pool pair... -- Regards, Mateusz Kamiński
