not able to connect to secure sites with Squid 3.0 (Fedora)
Hi all,
We recently moved up from using redhat 6.2 to using Fedora. However since then we have been experiencing problems connectiong to secure sites for example yahoo mail. What happens with yahoo mail is it will give you the log-in screen for you enter your username and password. If the username and /or password are incorrect you will get the incorrect password or username prompt. If however they are correct you will the browser continuew processing until you recieve the error "Connection Reset by peer" looking at the url you can see that authentication suceeded but no data has come through. Moreover we are unable to get onto https sites. We are using squid 3.0 proxy server running behind an iptables/netfilter firewall. I have included below part of the squid configuration file.
#Deny acces for clients not allowd access in the morming, evening and night
http_access deny !allowed_clients morning
http_access deny !allowed_clients afternoon
http_access deny !allowed_clients night
#All
http_access allow localnet
http_access deny manager
#http_access deny dangerous_ports
http_access allow localhost
http_access deny all
The squid logs also give a sslReadServer error.
I have disabled the firewall before but the same problem remains.
How can I connect to secure sites like yahoo mail.
Thank you for your help in advance.
I am still not able to loag onto secure sites but I have put it on the back burner. I suspect
that upgrading to the latest stable version would help and will tryit as soon as is
possible.
