Hello,

I need to select a cache peer based on the user group.
As cache_peer_access need a fast acl to have predicable result, I tried to
- annotate transactions with "note"
- match the annotation with a fast acl
- use the acl in the cache_peer_access directive

But I still got warning about slow acl in use where fast are required.
I am missing something ?

The 'note' directive (different from the note ACL type) itself is a "fast" access control whose purpose is to add things into the log file. It only does its thing at the termination of a transaction right before logging.


What you are wanting is to alter the external_acl_type helper (or write a script wrapper for it that changes the output). Such that when Squid sends it a lookup it generates an response to Squid saying something like this:

 OK profil="$group_name"

(where $group_name, is the group which matched)


When that is working you can also vastly simplify your squid.conf by replacing all these:

  acl StandardUser external ldap_group ACCESINTERNET
  acl VIPUser external ldap_group ACCESCHARGEDECOM
  acl NoNetUser external ldap_group INITIAL

... with a single helper ACL test:
  acl group external ldap_group ACCESINTERNET ACCESCHARGEDECOM INITIAL

... which gets run only for authenticated users:
  http_access deny !AuthorizedUsers
  http_access allow group

... and use the note ACLs to do all your other access controls:
  acl StandardUser note profil ACCESINTERNET
  acl VIPUser note profil ACCESCHARGEDECOM
  acl NoNetUser note profil INITIAL



PS.

maximum_object_size_in_memory 50 MB
logformat squid [%tl] %6tr %>a %Ss/%03>Hs %<st %rm %ru %[un %Sh/%<a %mt

FYI: please do not try to define that "squid" log format in squid.conf. Squid does not follow that instruction, and may do unexpected things as a result. The latest releases will refuse to start if squid.conf contains these.
