cccac0a2 30 WELCOME TO SQUID @VERSION@
31 ----------------------------
3a278cb8 32
cccac0a2 33 This is the default Squid configuration file. You may wish
34 to look at the Squid home page (http://www.squid-cache.org/)
35 for the FAQ and other documentation.
3a278cb8 36
cccac0a2 37 The default Squid config file shows what the defaults for
38 various options happen to be. If you don't need to change the
39 default, you shouldn't uncomment the line. Doing so may cause
40 run-time problems. In some cases "none" refers to no default
41 setting at all, while in other cases it refers to a valid
42 option - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the
43 case.

48 Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive.
49 Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards is
50 supported.
51
52 For example,
53
54 include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config
55
56 Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels.
57 This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references
58 from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load
59 configuration files.

41bd17a4 63 OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION
5473c134 64 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
65COMMENT_END
66
41bd17a4 67NAME: auth_param
68TYPE: authparam
69LOC: Config.authConfiguration
cccac0a2 70DEFAULT: none
71DOC_START
41bd17a4 72 This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
73 schemes supported by Squid.
cccac0a2 74
41bd17a4 75 format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
cccac0a2 76
41bd17a4 77 The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
78 dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
79 has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
80 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
81 schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
82 settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
83 recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
84 put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
85 program entry).
cccac0a2 86
41bd17a4 87 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
88 shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
89 the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
90 different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
cccac0a2 91
41bd17a4 92 Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
93 authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
94 To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
95 on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
96 external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
97 challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
98 in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
99 login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
100 type acl.
cccac0a2 101
41bd17a4 102 WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
103 proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
104 not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
105 transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
b3567eb5
FC
106 Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have
107 authentication disabled.
cccac0a2 108
41bd17a4 109 === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===
cccac0a2 110
41bd17a4 111 "program" cmdline
112 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a program
113 reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or
114 "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed
115 by a error description available as %m in the returned error page.
b3567eb5
FC
116 If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type
117 proxy_auth.
cccac0a2 118
41bd17a4 119 By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a
120 program is specified.
cccac0a2 121
41bd17a4 122 If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set
123 this line to something like
307b83b7 124
41bd17a4 125 auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd
9e7dbc51 126
d2a89ac1
AJ
127 "utf8" on|off
128 HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as characterset, while some authentication
129 backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will
130 translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the
131 username & password to the helper.
132
41bd17a4 133 "children" numberofchildren
134 The number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few
135 Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential
136 verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are
137 done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of
138 authenticator processes.
139 auth_param basic children 5
9e7dbc51 140
41bd17a4 141 "concurrency" concurrency
142 The number of concurrent requests the helper can process.
143 The default of 0 is used for helpers who only supports
144 one request at a time. Setting this changes the protocol used to
145 include a channel number first on the request/response line, allowing
146 multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallell without
147 wating for the response.
148 Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.
149 auth_param basic concurrency 0
0fdafae7 150
41bd17a4 151 "realm" realmstring
152 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
153 client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of
154 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
155 password). There is no default.
156 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
d1b63fc8 157
41bd17a4 158 "credentialsttl" timetolive
159 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
160 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
161 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
162 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
163 setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
164 to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
165 system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
166 you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
167 use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
cccac0a2 168
41bd17a4 169 "casesensitive" on|off
170 Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
171 case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
172 lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
173 makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.
174 auth_param basic casesensitive off
cccac0a2 175
41bd17a4 176 === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===
cccac0a2 177
41bd17a4 178 "program" cmdline
179 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such
180 a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
181 replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or
182 ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
183 See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
184 "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
185 available as %m in the returned error page.
cccac0a2 186
41bd17a4 187 By default, the digest authentication scheme is not used unless a
188 program is specified.
b8c0c06d 189
41bd17a4 190 If you want to use a digest authenticator, set this line to
191 something like
cccac0a2 192
7ce93108 193 auth_param digest program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/digest_pw_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/digpass
cccac0a2 194
d2a89ac1
AJ
195 "utf8" on|off
196 HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as characterset, while some authentication
197 backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will
198 translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the
199 username & password to the helper.
200
41bd17a4 201 "children" numberofchildren
202 The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
203 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
204 process a backlog of H(A1) calculations, slowing it down.
205 When the H(A1) calculations are done via a (slow) network
206 you are likely to need lots of authenticator processes.
207 auth_param digest children 5
cccac0a2 208
41bd17a4 209 "realm" realmstring
210 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
211 client for the digest proxy authentication scheme (part of
212 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
213 password). There is no default.
214 auth_param digest realm Squid proxy-caching web server
cccac0a2 215
41bd17a4 216 "nonce_garbage_interval" timeinterval
217 Specifies the interval that nonces that have been issued
218 to client_agent's are checked for validity.
cccac0a2 219
41bd17a4 220 "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval
221 Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
222 valid for.
cccac0a2 223
41bd17a4 224 "nonce_max_count" number
225 Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
226 used.
cccac0a2 227
41bd17a4 228 "nonce_strictness" on|off
229 Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
230 for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
231 useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
232 (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.
cccac0a2 233
41bd17a4 234 "check_nonce_count" on|off
235 This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
236 completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
237 certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
238 nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.
cccac0a2 239
41bd17a4 240 "post_workaround" on|off
241 This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends
242 an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing
243 the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.
cccac0a2 244
41bd17a4 245 === NTLM scheme options follow ===
cccac0a2 246
41bd17a4 247 "program" cmdline
248 Specify the command for the external NTLM authenticator.
249 Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with
250 the browser via Squid until authentication is completed.
251 If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl
252 of type proxy_auth. By default, the NTLM authenticator_program
253 is not used.
cccac0a2 254
41bd17a4 255 auth_param ntlm program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth
cccac0a2 256
41bd17a4 257 "children" numberofchildren
258 The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
259 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
260 process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it
261 down. When credential verifications are done via a (slow)
262 network you are likely to need lots of authenticator
263 processes.
cccac0a2 264
41bd17a4 265 auth_param ntlm children 5
cccac0a2 266
41bd17a4 267 "keep_alive" on|off
268 If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the
269 Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
270 off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
271 the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are
272 supported by the proxy.
cccac0a2 273
41bd17a4 274 auth_param ntlm keep_alive on
cccac0a2 275
41bd17a4 276 === Options for configuring the NEGOTIATE auth-scheme follow ===
cccac0a2 277
41bd17a4 278 "program" cmdline
279 Specify the command for the external Negotiate authenticator.
280 This protocol is used in Microsoft Active-Directory enabled setups with
281 the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers.
282 Its main purpose is to exchange credentials with the Squid proxy
283 using the Kerberos mechanisms.
b3567eb5
FC
284 If you use a Negotiate authenticator, make sure you have at least
285 one acl of type proxy_auth active. By default, the negotiate
286 authenticator_program is not used.
41bd17a4 287 The only supported program for this role is the ntlm_auth
288 program distributed as part of Samba, version 4 or later.
cccac0a2 289
41bd17a4 290 auth_param negotiate program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=gss-spnego
cccac0a2 291
41bd17a4 292 "children" numberofchildren
293 The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
294 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
295 process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it
296 down. When crendential verifications are done via a (slow)
297 network you are likely to need lots of authenticator

336 The time period between garbage collection across the username cache.

360 addresses associated with each user. Use a small value
361 (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses
362 quickly, as is the case with dialups. You might be safe
363 using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN

729DOC_START
730 Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to
731 find the original source of a request.
732
733 Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
734 before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a
735 comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the
736 rightmost address being the most recent.
737
738 If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
739 configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
740 to see where that host received the request from. If the
741 X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, and if
742 acl_uses_indirect_client is on, then we continue backtracking
743 until we reach an address for which we are not allowed to
744 follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
745 address in the list. (If acl_uses_indirect_client is off, then
746 it's impossible to backtrack through more than one level of
747 X-Forwarded-For addresses.)
748
749 The end result of this process is an IP address that we will
750 refer to as the indirect client address. This address may
751 be treated as the client address for access control, delay
752 pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client,
753 delay_pool_uses_indirect_client and log_uses_indirect_client
754 options.

759 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
760
761 Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header
762 can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid
763 will use the incorrect information as if it were the
764 source address of the request. This may enable remote
765 hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are
766 based on the client's source addresses.
767

769
770 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1

1012LOC: Config.ReplyBodySize
1013DOC_START
1014 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
1015 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
1016 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
1017 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
1018 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
1019 for this reply.
1020
1021 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
1022 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
1023 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
1024 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
1025 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
1026 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
1027 and they will receive a partial reply.
1028
1029 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
1030 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
1031 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
1032 use this option if you have downstream caches.
1033
1034 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
1035 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
1036 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus
1037 the size of your largest error page.

1063 The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
1064 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
1065 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
1066 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
1067 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
1068 address. This replaces the old 'tcp_incoming_address'
1069 option. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
1070 address, so you can use the port number alone.
1071
1072 If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
1073 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.
1074
1075 The -a command line option may be used to specify additional
1076 port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will
1077 be plain proxy ports with no options.

FC
1405 Squid is built with a capability of bridging the IPv4 and IPv6
1406 internets.
cc192b50 1407 tcp_outgoing_address as exampled above breaks this bridging by forcing
1408 all outbound traffic through a certain IPv4 which may be on the wrong
1409 side of the IPv4/IPv6 boundary.
1410
1411 To operate with tcp_outgoing_address and keep the bridging benefits
1412 an additional ACL needs to be used which ensures the IPv6-bound traffic
1413 is never forced or permitted out the IPv4 interface.

1641 cache_peer example.com parent 80 0 no-query default
1642 cache_peer cdn.example.com sibling 3128 0
1643
1644 type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
1645
1646 proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
1647 For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
1648 For web servers this is usually 80
1649
1650 icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
1651 Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
1652 See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
1653
1654
1655 ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
1656
1657 You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
1658 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
1659
1660
1661 no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
1662
1663 multicast-responder
1664 Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
1665 ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
1666 replies will be accepted from it.
1667
1668 closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
1669 CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
1670
1671 background-ping
1672 To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
1673 This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
1674 and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
1675
1676
1677 ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
1678
1679 You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
1680 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
1681
1682
1683 htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
1684 You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
1685 instead of 3130.
1686
1687 htcp-oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions.
1688
1689 htcp-no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
1690 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
1691 htcp-only-clr.
1692
1693 htcp-only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
1694 This cannot be used with htcp-no-clr.
1695
1696 htcp-no-purge-clr
1697 Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
1698 they do not result from PURGE requests.
1699
1700 htcp-forward-clr
1701 Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
1702
1703
1704 ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
1705
1706 The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
1707 being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
1708
1709
1710 default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
1711 if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
1712 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
1713
1714 round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
1715 fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
1716 weight=N can be used to add bias.
1717
1718 weighted-round-robin
1719 Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
1720 fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
1721 round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
1722 Usually used for background-ping parents.
1723 weight=N can be used to add bias.
1724
1725 carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
1726 The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
1727 CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
1728
1729 userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
1730
1731 sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
1732
1733
1734 ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
1735
1736 weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
1737 peer-selection mechanisms.
1738 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
1739 larger weights are favored more.
1740 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
1741 protocol is not in use.
1742
1743 basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
1744 times of parents.
1745 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
1746 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
1747 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
1748
1749 ttl=N Specify a IP multicast TTL to use when sending an ICP
1750 queries to this address.
1751 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
1752 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
1753 hosts, you must configure other group members as
1754 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
1755
1756 no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
1757 delay pools.
1758
1759 digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
1760 enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
1761 than the Squid default location.
1762
1763
1764 ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
1765
1766 originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
1767 Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
1768 is a web server.
1769
1770 forceddomain=name
1771 Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
1772 Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
1773 expects a certain domain name but clients may request
1774 others. ie example.com or www.example.com
1775
1776 no-digest Disable request of cache digests.
1777
1778 no-netdb-exchange
1779 Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
1780
1781
1782 ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
1783
1784 login=user:password
1785 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
1786 requires proxy authentication.
1787
1788 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
1789 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
1790
11e4c5e5
AJ
1791 login=PASSTHRU
1792 Send login details received from client to this peer.
1793 Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
1794 without alteration to the peer.
1795 Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
1796
1797 Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
1798 only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
1799 connection-auth options are also used.
ee0b94f4 1800
2b94f655
AJ
1801 login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer.
1802 Authentication is not required by this option.
11e4c5e5 1803
2b94f655
AJ
1804 If there are no client-provided authentication headers
1805 to pass on, but username and password are available
ee0b94f4
HN
1806 from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
1807 they may be sent instead.
2b94f655
AJ
1808
1809 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
1810 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
1811 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
1812 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
1813 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
1814
1815 login=*:password
1816 Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
1817 fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
1818 is in another administrative domain, but it is still
1819 needed to identify each user.
1820 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
1821 information which is added to the username. This can
1822 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
1823 the login=username:password option above.
1824
9ca29d23
AJ
1825 login=NEGOTIATE
1826 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
1827 requires a secure proxy authentication.
1828 The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
1829 the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used.
1830
1831 login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name
1832 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
1833 requires a secure proxy authentication.
1834 The principal principal_name from the default keytab or
1835 defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be
1836 used.
1837
2b94f655
AJ
1838 connection-auth=on|off
1839 Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft
1840 connection oriented authentication, and any such
1841 challenges received from there should be ignored.
1842 Default is auto to automatically determine the status
1843 of the peer.
1844
1845
1846 ==== SSL / HTTPS / TLS OPTIONS ====
1847
1848 ssl Encrypt connections to this peer with SSL/TLS.
1849
1850 sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate
1851 A client SSL certificate to use when connecting to
1852 this peer.
1853
1854 sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key
1855 The private SSL key corresponding to sslcert above.
1856 If 'sslkey' is not specified 'sslcert' is assumed to
1857 reference a combined file containing both the
1858 certificate and the key.
1859
1860 sslversion=1|2|3|4
1861 The SSL version to use when connecting to this peer
1862 1 = automatic (default)
1863 2 = SSL v2 only
1864 3 = SSL v3 only
1865 4 = TLS v1 only
1866
1867 sslcipher=... The list of valid SSL ciphers to use when connecting
1868 to this peer.
1869
1870 ssloptions=... Specify various SSL engine options:
1871 NO_SSLv2 Disallow the use of SSLv2
1872 NO_SSLv3 Disallow the use of SSLv3
1873 NO_TLSv1 Disallow the use of TLSv1
1874 See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for
1875 a more complete list.
1876
1877 sslcafile=... A file containing additional CA certificates to use
1878 when verifying the peer certificate.
1879
1880 sslcapath=... A directory containing additional CA certificates to
1881 use when verifying the peer certificate.
1882
1883 sslcrlfile=... A certificate revocation list file to use when
1884 verifying the peer certificate.
1885
1886 sslflags=... Specify various flags modifying the SSL implementation:
1887
41bd17a4 1888 DONT_VERIFY_PEER
1889 Accept certificates even if they fail to
1890 verify.
1891 NO_DEFAULT_CA
1892 Don't use the default CA list built in
1893 to OpenSSL.
1894 DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
1895 Don't verify the peer certificate
1896 matches the server name
2b94f655
AJ
1897
1898 ssldomain= The peer name as advertised in it's certificate.
1899 Used for verifying the correctness of the received peer
1900 certificate. If not specified the peer hostname will be
1901 used.
1902
1903 front-end-https
1904 Enable the "Front-End-Https: On" header needed when
1905 using Squid as a SSL frontend in front of Microsoft OWA.
1906 See MS KB document Q307347 for details on this header.
1907 If set to auto the header will only be added if the
1908 request is forwarded as a https:// URL.
1909
1910
1911 ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ====
1912
1913 connect-timeout=N
1914 A peer-specific connect timeout.
1915 Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive.
1916
1917 connect-fail-limit=N
1918 How many times connecting to a peer must fail before
1919 it is marked as down. Default is 10.
1920
1921 allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
1922 requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
1923 icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To extensive use
1924 of this option may result in forwarding loops, and you
1925 should avoid having two-way peerings with this option.
1926 For example to deny peer usage on requests from peer
1927 by denying cache_peer_access if the source is a peer.
1928
1929 max-conn=N Limit the amount of connections Squid may open to this
1930 peer. see also
1931
1932 name=xxx Unique name for the peer.
1933 Required if you have multiple peers on the same host
1934 but different ports.
1935 This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar
1936 directives to dentify the peer.
1937 Can be used by outgoing access controls through the
1938 peername ACL type.
1939
1940 proxy-only objects fetched from the peer will not be stored locally.

2000 default neighbor type specified on the 'cache_peer' line.
2001 Normally it should only be necessary to list domains which

2016DOC_START
2017 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
2018 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
2019 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
2020 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
2021 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
2022 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
699acd19 2023
41bd17a4 2024 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
2025 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
2026 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
2027 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
2028 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
2029 will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers
2030 instead of to your parents.

6b698a21 2068DOC_START
41bd17a4 2069 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
2070 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
2071 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
2072 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
2073
2074 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
2075 for:
2076 * In-Transit objects
2077 * Hot Objects
2078 * Negative-Cached objects
2079
2080 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
2081 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
2082 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
2083 priority.
2084
2085 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
2086 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
2087 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
2088 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
2089 not needed for in-transit objects.
2090
2091 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
2092 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
2093 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
2094 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
2095 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
2096 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
2097 objects.

41bd17a4 2159 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
0976f8db 2160
41bd17a4 2161 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
2162 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
2163 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
2164 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
0976f8db 2165
41bd17a4 2166 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
2167 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
2168 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
2169 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
0976f8db 2170
41bd17a4 2171 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
2172 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
2173 replacement policies.
7d90757b 2174
41bd17a4 2175 NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
2176 the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
2177 to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.

0976f8db 2199
41bd17a4 2200 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
2201 files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
2202 for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.
2203 The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid
2204 process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you.
0976f8db 2205
41bd17a4 2206 The ufs store type:
0976f8db 2207
41bd17a4 2208 "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always

2215 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
2216 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
2217 subtract 20% and use that value.
0976f8db 2218
41bd17a4 2219 'Level-1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
2220 will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16.
0976f8db 2221
41bd17a4 2222 'Level-2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
2223 will be created under each first-level directory. The default

41bd17a4 2228 "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing

41bd17a4 2246 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
2247 stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
2248 Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
0976f8db 2249
41bd17a4 2250 Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
2251 starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues,
2252 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
0976f8db 2253
41bd17a4 2254 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
2255 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
2256 ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
2257 higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
2258 time.

2265
41bd17a4 2266 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
2267 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
2268 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
2269 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
2270 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
2271 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
2272 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
0976f8db 2273
41bd17a4 2274 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
2275 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
2276 this will be created by squid -z.

41bd17a4 2278 Common options:

0976f8db 2281
41bd17a4 2282 max-size=n, refers to the max object size this storedir supports.
2283 It is used to initially choose the storedir to dump the object.
2284 Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order
2285 the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the
2286 ones with no max-size specification last.
0976f8db 2287
41bd17a4 2288 Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,
2289 which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure
2290 option.

2464
2465 If ICAP is enabled, the following two codes become available (as
2466 well as ICAP log codes documented with the icap_log option):
2467
2468 icap::tt Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP
2469 transaction. The timer ticks when ICAP
2470 ACLs are checked and when ICAP
2471 transaction is in progress.
2472
2473 icap::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response
2474 related to the HTTP transaction. Like
2475 <h, accepts an optional header name
2476 argument. Will not change semantics
2477 when multiple ICAP transactions per HTTP
2478 transaction are supported.
2479
2480 If adaptation is enabled the following two codes become available:
2481
2482 adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response
2483 times recorded as a comma-separated list in
2484 the order of transaction start time. Each time
2485 value is recorded as an integer number,
2486 representing response time of one or more
2487 adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
2488 milliseconds. When a failed transaction is
2489 being retried or repeated, its time is not
2490 logged individually but added to the
2491 replacement (next) transaction. See also:
2492 adapt::all_trs.
2493
2494 adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
2495 Same as adaptation_strs but response times of
2496 individual transactions are never added
2497 together. Instead, all transaction response
2498 times are recorded individually.
2499
2500 You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
2501 service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
2502 to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs

2550 ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per

2553 The icap_log option format is:
2554 icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
2555 icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
2556
2557 Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
2558 kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
2559 features.
2560
2561 ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
2562 require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple
2563 ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
2564 log line.
2565
2566 ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP
2567 transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header
2568 embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats:
2569 For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP
2570 server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP
2571 request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For
2572 OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers.
2573
2574 The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:
2575
2576 icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.
2577
2578 icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service
2579 option in Squid configuration file.
2580
2581 icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru.
2582
2583 icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or
2584 OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm.
2585
2586 icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload
2587 only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket).
2588
2589 icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP
2590 payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from
2591 the socket).
2592
2593 icap::tr Transaction response time (in
2594 milliseconds). The timer starts when
2595 the ICAP transaction is created and
2596 stops when the transaction is completed.
2597 Similar to tr.
2598
2599 icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The
2600 timer starts when the first ICAP request
2601 byte is scheduled for sending. The timers
2602 stops when the last byte of the ICAP response
2603 is received.
2604
2605 icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all
2606 transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION
2607 transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204
2608 responses, ICAP_MOD for message
2609 modification, and ICAP_SAT for request
2610 satisfaction. Similar to Ss.
2611
2612 icap::Hs ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs.
2613
2614 icap::>h ICAP request header(s). Similar to >h.
2615
2616 icap::<h ICAP response header(s). Similar to <h.
2617
2618 The default ICAP log format, which can be used without an explicit
2619 definition, is called icap_squid:
2620

41bd17a4 2711 Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
2712 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
2713 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other
2714 purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal. It is best to get

3531LOC: Config.maxChunkedRequestBodySize
3532DOC_START
3533 A broken or confused HTTP/1.1 client may send a chunked HTTP
3534 request to Squid. Squid does not have full support for that
3535 feature yet. To cope with such requests, Squid buffers the
3536 entire request and then dechunks request body to create a
3537 plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain
3538 request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual.
3539
3540 The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used
3541 to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked
3542 request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion
3543 fails, and the client receives an "unsupported request" error,
3544 as if dechunking was disabled.
3545
3546 Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of
3547 chunked requests, set the maximum to zero.
3548
3549 Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a
3550 temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully
3551 supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request.

3598 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
3599 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
3600 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
3601 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
3602 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
3603 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
3604 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
3605 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
3606 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
3607 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
3608 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
3609 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
3610 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
3611 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
3612 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
3613 force fresh content.

4246 class 1 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
4247 bucket.
4248
4249 class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
4250 bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
b1fb3348 4251 from bits 25 through 32 of the IPv4 address.
9edd9041 4252
4253 class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
4254 bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
4255 from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
4256 "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
b1fb3348 4257 32 of the IPv4 address.
9edd9041 4258
4259 class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an
4260 additional limit on a per user basis. This
4261 only takes effect if the username is established
4262 in advance - by forcing authentication in your
4263 http_access rules.
4264
4265 class 5 Requests are grouped according their tag (see
4266 external_acl's tag= reply).
4267
4268 NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d
4269 -> bits 25 through 32 are "d"

4307 This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has
4308 a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
4309 description of delay_class. For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:
4310
4311delay_parameters pool aggregate
4312
4313 For a class 2 delay pool:
4314
4315delay_parameters pool aggregate individual
4316
4317 For a class 3 delay pool:
4318
4319delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual
4320
4321 For a class 4 delay pool:
4322
4323delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
4324
4325 For a class 5 delay pool:
4326
4327delay_parameters pool tag
4328
4329 The variables here are:
4330
4331 pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
4332 number specified in delay_pools as used in
4333 delay_class lines.
4334
4335 aggregate the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket
4336 (class 1, 2, 3).
4337
4338 individual the "delay parameters" for the individual
4339 buckets (class 2, 3).
4340
4341 network the "delay parameters" for the network buckets
4342 (class 3).
4343
4344 user the delay parameters for the user buckets
4345 (class 4).
4346
4347 tag the delay parameters for the tag buckets
4348 (class 5).
4349
4350 A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
4351 the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
4352 quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
4353 maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.
4354
4355 For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
4356 above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps
4357 (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:
4358
4359delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000
4360
4361 Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".
4362
4363 And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
4364 example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit)
4365 with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each
4366 individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb
4367 to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
4368 (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
4369 large downloads more significantly:
4370
4371delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000
4372
4373 There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.
4374
4375 Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will
4376 be limited to 128Kb no matter how many workstations they are logged into.:

4523 WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two
4524 types: "standard" and "dynamic". The standard type defines
4525 one service id - http (id 0). The dynamic service ids can be from
4526 51 to 255 inclusive. In order to use a dynamic service id
4527 one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done
4528 using the wccp2_service_info option.
4529
4530 The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option,
4531 just specifying the service id will suffice.
4532
4533 MD5 service authentication can be enabled by adding
4534 "password=<password>" to the end of this service declaration.

4537
4538 wccp2_service standard 0 # for the 'web-cache' standard service
4539 wccp2_service dynamic 80 # a dynamic service type which will be

4986 Squid, set this 'icp_query_timeout' to a non-zero value. This
4987 value is specified in MILLISECONDS, so, to use a 2-second

5274 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
5275 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
5276 the first authentication related acl encountered

AR
5692
5693 service_url: icap://servername:port/servicepath
5694 ICAP server and service location.
5695
5696 ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
5697 transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
5698 services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
5699 can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
5700 service_names differ.
5701
5702
5703 Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support
5704 the following name=value options:
5705
5706 bypass=on|off|1|0
5707 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
5708 optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
5709 Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
5710 if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
5711 bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
5712 essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
5713 returned to the HTTP client.
5714
5715 Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
5716
5717 routing=on|off|1|0
5718 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
5719 dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
5720 returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
5721 are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
5722 value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
5723 Each named service should be configured in squid.conf and
5724 should have the same method and vectoring point as the current
5725 ICAP transaction. Services violating these rules are ignored.
5726 An empty X-Next-Services value results in an empty plan which
5727 ends the current adaptation.
5728
5729 Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services
5730 response header is ignored.
5731
5732 Older icap_service format without optional named parameters is

5855 transaction fails as well.
5856
5857 A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that

5898 A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an

5971DOC_START
5972 For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response
5973 sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid
5974 maintains a table of metadata. The table entries are (name, value)
5975 pairs shared among eCAP and ICAP exchanges. The table is destroyed
5976 with the master transaction.
5977
5978 This option specifies the table entry names that Squid must accept
5979 from and forward to the adaptation transactions.
5980
5981 An ICAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the
5982 shared table by returning an ICAP header field with a name
5983 specified in adaptation_masterx_shared_names. Squid will store
5984 and forward that ICAP header field to subsequent ICAP
5985 transactions within the same master transaction scope.
5986
5987 Only one shared entry name is supported at this time.

6196 That policy however will cause squid to produce error pages for some
6197 servers that advertise AAAA but are unreachable over IPv6.

6267 requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc
6268 library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps
6269 objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set

6279 An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account
6280 when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per

6282 reduced memory thrashing in your malloc library.

6493 Specifies a directiry where Squid should do a chroot() while
6494 initializing. This also causes Squid to fully drop root
6495 privileges after initializing. This means, for example, if you
6496 use a HTTP port less than 1024 and try to reconfigure, you may
6497 get an error saying that Squid can not open the port.

cc192b50 6505 Modern IP resolvers in squid sort lookup results by preferred access.
6506 By default squid will use these IP in order and only rotates to
6507 the next listed when the most preffered fails.

5473c134 6509 Some load balancing servers based on round robin DNS have been
6510 found not to preserve user session state across requests
6511 to different IP addresses.

6567 When this is set to a non-zero value, the main Squid process
6568 sleeps the specified number of microseconds after a fork()
6569 system call. This sleep may help the situation where your
6570 system reports fork() failures due to lack of (virtual)
6571 memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child
6572 processes, these sleep delays will add up and your
6573 Squid will not service requests for some amount of time
6574 until all the child processes have been started.
6575 On Windows value less then 1000 (1 milliseconds) are
6576 rounded to 1000.

6586 On Windows Squid by default will monitor IP address changes and will
6587 reconfigure itself after any detected event. This is very useful for
6588 proxies connected to internet with dial-up interfaces.
6589 In some cases (a Proxy server acting as VPN gateway is one) it could be
6590 desiderable to disable this behaviour setting this to 'off'.
6591 Note: after changing this, Squid service must be restarted.
