Topic: 7.0 alpha with external proxy

[berdie]

Hi everyone,

I would like to test the 7.0-alpha, but for internet-access I need an external proxy with port-number, user and password.
I think this is possible in the actually 6.01-Version.
Would this be available in the 7.0-Version again?
How can I configure this in 7.0-alpha without the server-console?

Rgds.

6.x only has support for an anonymous parent cache - there is on mechanism to provide a username and password for the upstream cache.

To configure 7.0 alpha to use a parent cache, do:

config set SquidParent x.x.x.x
config set SquidParnentPort nnn
signal-event proxy-update

If you do need to authenticate to your upstream cache, then you will need to create a custom template, and add
"login=user:password" to the cache-peer line in squid.conf.

Hi Charly,

thanks a lot for your info. But unfortunally this don't help me.
I think, I forgot to say that I also need the way to config my SME 7alpha in connection to another DNS-controller.
Can you help me again?

Rgds.

I have tried this on sme 7.1.3 but whenever I try to use internet from a client I get this error in /var/log/messages and a page in the browser saying "unable to forward this request at this time"
