Re: Secure basic authentication on Squid

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



To reiterate Alex, "yes you can".

Squid supports "proxy over TLS" as well as the old/default "proxy over TCP" - you use the https_port option

...but getting browsers to support it is challenging. The best way would be to create a WPAD file that tells browsers to use "HTTPS" instead of "PROXY". Then you can just use Proxy-Authentication using Basic and you'd be all set. BTW, Basic has MAJOR performance benefits over any other form of authentication IMHO. Basic over TLS is the way to go...


eg something like this 

---------------- wpad.dat ----------

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
  // see how I used 443? If you're going to run a TLS-encrypted proxy, make it totally appear as a HTTPS server and run it on port 443...
  //
  

if (isPlainHostName(host) ||  dnsDomainIs(host,"localhost.localdomain") ) {
return "DIRECT";
} else if (isInNet(host, "127.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0") || isInNet(host, "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0") || isInNet(host, "172.16.0.0", "255.240.0.0")  || isInNet(host, "192.168.0.0", "255.255.0.0") ) {
return "DIRECT";
} else {
// 
return "HTTPS secure-squid.com:443";
  }
}

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for your answer.

That this only secures the traffic Squid<->LDAP Server, not browsers<->Squid.

Is there a solution to secure communication between the browser and the proxy?
