Re: cache_peer selection based on username

[NgTech LTD <ngtech1ltd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Squid provides the acl login or username.

http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/acl/

should have maybe ident.

you will need to include a usernames file which contains them.

I believe a note in a helper should do that better.

Hey,

I am trying to figure out the best way to select cache peers based on the client username, I have read extensively but I cannot figure out the best way to do it.

so far I have:

external_acl_type user_whitelist_external children-max=20 ttl=300 %>lp %>a script.sh

acl whitelisted_users external user_whitelist_external

http_access allow whitelisted_users

and:

nonhierarchical_direct off

never_direct allow all

cache_peer 192.168.8.1 parent 101 0 proxy-only default name=proxy1

cache_peer_access proxy1 allow whitelisted_users

cache_peer_access proxy0.2 deny all

cache_peer 192.168.8.2 parent 102 0 proxy-only default name=proxy2

cache_peer_access proxy2 allow whitelisted_users

cache_peer_access proxy0.3 deny all

ideally, script.sh checks if the request is authinticated and if it is, it selects the cache peer to use, is there some kind of way to achieve this with "Defined keywords" to select which cache peer to use or am I looking at this the wrong way?

What would be the best way to accomplish this?
