squid server problem

Hi all,


I am using Fedora Core 4 on HP ProLiant ML110 Server Machine.
It has one ethernet card throuh that i am sharing internet to LAN
clients. Squid is running on port number 3128. When from client side i
want to access SSL URLS it is giving error permission denied. How to
configure squid to accept SSL Request from the clients to serve them.

So help me regarding this it's very urgent.

Thanking u in advance

Regards
Praveen

how do you tell your clients to use squid ?
Ip tables?

Sounds like a iptables rules problem. What do your rules look like? I
use squid the same way and I do not have that problem.

You probably want to check out the ACL parts of Squid's config. Squid
doesn't actually understand (and probably never will) SSL it just
honours a request from the web browser to open a connection to a
specific port on the web server you want the SSL connection to.

Thus the message you're getting is probably because you haven't granted
"CONNECT" permissions to people inside your LAN to the correct SSL ports
on the outside world.

Hi,
I did not use iptables for blocking any ports. And also i am not
configured firewall configuration for my system.

I tried IP Masquedaring then also i am not overcome from the problem.
Tell me how to configure squid which should not block the SSL request
from the clients directly it should access the SSL. I mean i want to
dissable SSL in Squid.
