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.

62 Conditional configuration
63
64 If-statements can be used to make configuration directives
65 depend on conditions:
66
67 if <CONDITION>
68 ... regular configuration directives ...
69 [else
70 ... regular configuration directives ...]
71 endif
72
73 The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif"
74 must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular
75 configuration directives.
76
77 These individual conditions types are supported:
78
79 true
80 Always evaluates to true.
81 false
82 Always evaluates to false.
83 <integer> = <integer>
84 Equality comparison of two integer numbers.

89 The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used.
90
91 ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name"
92 (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1).
93
94 ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process
95 identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique
96 across all Squid processes.

41bd17a4 169 OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION
5473c134 170 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

172
41bd17a4 173NAME: auth_param
174TYPE: authparam
5817ee13 175LOC: Auth::TheConfig
cccac0a2 176DEFAULT: none
177DOC_START
41bd17a4 178 This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
179 schemes supported by Squid.
cccac0a2 180
41bd17a4 181 format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
cccac0a2 182
41bd17a4 183 The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
184 dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
185 has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
186 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
187 schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
188 settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
189 recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
190 put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
191 program entry).
cccac0a2 192
41bd17a4 193 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
194 shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
195 the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
196 different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
cccac0a2 197
41bd17a4 198 Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
199 authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
200 To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
201 on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
202 external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
203 challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
204 in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
205 login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
206 type acl.
cccac0a2 207
41bd17a4 208 WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
209 proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
210 not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
211 transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
b3567eb5
FC
212 Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have
213 authentication disabled.
cccac0a2 214
41bd17a4 215 === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===
cccac0a2 216
41bd17a4 217 "program" cmdline
218 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a program
219 reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or
220 "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed
221 by a error description available as %m in the returned error page.
b3567eb5
FC
222 If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type
223 proxy_auth.
cccac0a2 224
41bd17a4 225 By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a
226 program is specified.
cccac0a2 227
41bd17a4 228 If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set
229 this line to something like
307b83b7 230
41bd17a4 231 auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd
9e7dbc51 232
d2a89ac1
AJ
233 "utf8" on|off
234 HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as characterset, while some authentication
235 backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will
236 translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the
237 username & password to the helper.
238
7353861b 239 "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N]
48d54e4d 240 The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few
41bd17a4 241 Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential
242 verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are
243 done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of
244 authenticator processes.
48d54e4d
AJ
245
246 The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount
64d2327b

247 run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup and reconfigure.
248 Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet
48d54e4d
AJ
249 traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
250 the maximum.
251
7353861b
HN
252 The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests the
253 helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers who only
254 supports one request at a time. Setting this to a number greater than
255 0 changes the protocol used to include a channel number first on the
256 request/response line, allowing multiple requests to be sent to the
257 same helper in parallell without wating for the response.
41bd17a4 258 Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.

41bd17a4 262 "realm" realmstring
263 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
264 client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of
265 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
266 password). There is no default.
267 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
d1b63fc8 268
41bd17a4 269 "credentialsttl" timetolive
270 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
271 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
272 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
273 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
274 setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
275 to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
276 system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
277 you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
278 use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
cccac0a2 279
41bd17a4 280 "casesensitive" on|off
281 Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
282 case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
283 lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
284 makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.
285 auth_param basic casesensitive off
cccac0a2 286
41bd17a4 287 === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===
cccac0a2 288
41bd17a4 289 "program" cmdline
290 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such
291 a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
292 replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or
293 ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
294 See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
295 "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
296 available as %m in the returned error page.

cccac0a2 345
41bd17a4 346 "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval
347 Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
348 valid for.
cccac0a2 349
41bd17a4 350 "nonce_max_count" number
351 Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
352 used.
cccac0a2 353
41bd17a4 354 "nonce_strictness" on|off
355 Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
356 for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
357 useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
358 (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.
cccac0a2 359
41bd17a4 360 "check_nonce_count" on|off
361 This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
362 completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
363 certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
364 nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.
cccac0a2 365
41bd17a4 366 "post_workaround" on|off
367 This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends
368 an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing
369 the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.
cccac0a2 370
41bd17a4 371 === NTLM scheme options follow ===
cccac0a2 372

375 Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with
376 the browser via Squid until authentication is completed.
377 If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl
378 of type proxy_auth. By default, the NTLM authenticator_program

501 If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL,
502 this directive controls how long Squid remembers the IP
503 addresses associated with each user. Use a small value
504 (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses
505 quickly, as is the case with dialups. You might be safe
506 using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN
507 environment with relatively static address assignments.

cccac0a2 595
41bd17a4 596 The helper receives lines per the above format specification,
597 and returns lines starting with OK or ERR indicating the validity
598 of the request and optionally followed by additional keywords with

611 tag= Apply a tag to a request (for both ERR and OK results)
612 Only sets a tag, does not alter existing tags.
613 log= String to be logged in access.log. Available as
614 %ea in logformat specifications
934b03fc 615
41bd17a4 616 If protocol=3.0 (the default) then URL escaping is used to protect
617 each value in both requests and responses.
6a566b9c 618
41bd17a4 619 If using protocol=2.5 then all values need to be enclosed in quotes
620 if they may contain whitespace, or the whitespace escaped using \.
621 And quotes or \ characters within the keyword value must be \ escaped.
1e5562e3 622
41bd17a4 623 When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
624 introducing a query channel tag infront of the request/response.
625 The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.

891 Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to
892 find the original source of a request.
893
894 Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
895 before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a
896 comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the
897 rightmost address being the most recent.
898
899 If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
900 configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
901 to see where that host received the request from. If the
2bf4e8fa
AJ
902 X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, we continue
903 backtracking until we reach an address for which we are not allowed
904 to follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
905 address in the list. For the purpose of ACL used in the
906 follow_x_forwarded_for directive the src ACL type always matches
907 the address we are testing and srcdomain matches its rDNS.
3d674977
AJ
908
909 The end result of this process is an IP address that we will
910 refer to as the indirect client address. This address may
57d76dd4 911 be treated as the client address for access control, ICAP, delay
3d674977 912 pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client,

919 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
920
921 Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header
922 can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid
923 will use the incorrect information as if it were the
924 source address of the request. This may enable remote
925 hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are
926 based on the client's source addresses.
927
928 For example:
929
930 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1
931 acl my_other_proxy srcdomain .proxy.example.com

1208 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
1209 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
1210 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
1211 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
1212 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
1213 for this reply.
1214
1215 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
1216 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
1217 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
1218 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
1219 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
1220 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
1221 and they will receive a partial reply.
1222
1223 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
1224 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
1225 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
1226 use this option if you have downstream caches.
1227
1228 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
1229 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
1230 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus

1257 The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
1258 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
1259 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
1260 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
1261 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
c7b1dd5d 1262 address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
5b0f5383 1263 address, so you can use the port number alone.
1264
1265 If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
1266 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.
1267
1268 The -a command line option may be used to specify additional
1269 port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will

1756 IPv6 Magic:

FC
1758 Squid is built with a capability of bridging the IPv4 and IPv6
1759 internets.
cc192b50 1760 tcp_outgoing_address as exampled above breaks this bridging by forcing
1761 all outbound traffic through a certain IPv4 which may be on the wrong
1762 side of the IPv4/IPv6 boundary.
1763
1764 To operate with tcp_outgoing_address and keep the bridging benefits
1765 an additional ACL needs to be used which ensures the IPv6-bound traffic
1766 is never forced or permitted out the IPv4 interface.

1783 'dst ipv6' is a slow ACL. It will only work here if 'dst' is used
1784 previously in the http_access rules to locate the destination IP.
1785 Some more magic may be needed for that:

2060
2061 type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
2062
2063 proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
2064 For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
2065 For web servers this is usually 80
2066
2067 icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
2068 Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
2069 See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
2070
2071
2072 ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
2073
2074 You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
2075 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
2076
2077
2078 no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
2079
2080 multicast-responder
2081 Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
2082 ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
2083 replies will be accepted from it.
2084
2085 closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
2086 CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
2087
2088 background-ping
2089 To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
2090 This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
2091 and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
2092
2093
2094 ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
2095
2096 You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
2097 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
2098
2099
2100 htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
2101 You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
18191440
AJ
2102 instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
2103 list of options described below.
2b94f655 2104
18191440 2105 htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
2b94f655 2106
18191440 2107 htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
2b94f655 2108 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
18191440 2109 only-clr.
2b94f655 2110
18191440
AJ
2111 htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
2112 This cannot be used with no-clr.
2b94f655 2113
18191440 2114 htcp=no-purge-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2115 Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
2116 they do not result from PURGE requests.
2117
18191440 2118 htcp=forward-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2119 Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
2120
2121
2122 ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
2123
2124 The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
2125 being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
2126
2127
2128 default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
2129 if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
2130 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
2131
2132 round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2133 fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
2134 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2135
2136 weighted-round-robin
2137 Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2138 fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
2139 round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
2140 Usually used for background-ping parents.
2141 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2142
2143 carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
2144 The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
2145 CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
2146
2147 userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
2148
2149 sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
8a368316
AJ
2150
2151 multicast-siblings
2152 To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
2153 ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
2154 relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a mulicast
2155 group when the requested object would be fetched only from
2156 a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when
2157 configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
2158 members of the same multicast group.
2b94f655
AJ
2159
2160
2161 ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
2162
2163 weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
2164 peer-selection mechanisms.
2165 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
2166 larger weights are favored more.
2167 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
2168 protocol is not in use.
2169
2170 basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
2171 times of parents.
2172 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
2173 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
2174 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
2175
3c72389f
AJ
2176 ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
2177 to this address.
2b94f655
AJ
2178 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
2179 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
2180 hosts, you must configure other group members as
2181 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
2182
2183 no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
2184 delay pools.
2185
2186 digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
2187 enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
2188 than the Squid default location.
2189
2190
2191 ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
2192
2193 originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
2194 Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
2195 is a web server.
2196
2197 forceddomain=name
2198 Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
2199 Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
2200 expects a certain domain name but clients may request
2201 others. ie example.com or www.example.com
2202
2203 no-digest Disable request of cache digests.
2204
2205 no-netdb-exchange
2206 Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
2207
2208
2209 ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
2210
2211 login=user:password
2212 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2213 requires proxy authentication.
2214
2215 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
2216 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
2217
11e4c5e5
AJ
2218 login=PASSTHRU
2219 Send login details received from client to this peer.
2220 Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
2221 without alteration to the peer.
2222 Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
2223
2224 Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
2225 only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
2226 connection-auth options are also used.
ee0b94f4 2227
2b94f655
AJ
2228 login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer.
2229 Authentication is not required by this option.
11e4c5e5 2230
2b94f655
AJ
2231 If there are no client-provided authentication headers
2232 to pass on, but username and password are available
ee0b94f4
HN
2233 from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
2234 they may be sent instead.
2b94f655
AJ
2235
2236 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
2237 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
2238 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
2239 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
2240 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
2241
2242 login=*:password
2243 Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
2244 fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
2245 is in another administrative domain, but it is still
2246 needed to identify each user.
2247 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
2248 information which is added to the username. This can
2249 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
2250 the login=username:password option above.
2251
9ca29d23
AJ
2252 login=NEGOTIATE
2253 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2254 requires a secure proxy authentication.
2255 The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
2256 the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used.
2257
2258 login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name
2259 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2260 requires a secure proxy authentication.
2261 The principal principal_name from the default keytab or
2262 defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be
2263 used.
2264
2b94f655
AJ
2265 connection-auth=on|off
2266 Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft
2267 connection oriented authentication, and any such
2268 challenges received from there should be ignored.
2269 Default is auto to automatically determine the status
2270 of the peer.
2271
2272
2273 ==== SSL / HTTPS / TLS OPTIONS ====
2274
2275 ssl Encrypt connections to this peer with SSL/TLS.
2276
2277 sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate
2278 A client SSL certificate to use when connecting to
2279 this peer.
2280
2281 sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key
2282 The private SSL key corresponding to sslcert above.
2283 If 'sslkey' is not specified 'sslcert' is assumed to
2284 reference a combined file containing both the
2285 certificate and the key.
2286
2287 sslversion=1|2|3|4
2288 The SSL version to use when connecting to this peer
2289 1 = automatic (default)
2290 2 = SSL v2 only
2291 3 = SSL v3 only
2292 4 = TLS v1 only
2293
2294 sslcipher=... The list of valid SSL ciphers to use when connecting
2295 to this peer.
2296
2297 ssloptions=... Specify various SSL engine options:
2298 NO_SSLv2 Disallow the use of SSLv2
2299 NO_SSLv3 Disallow the use of SSLv3
2300 NO_TLSv1 Disallow the use of TLSv1
2301 See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for
2302 a more complete list.
2303
2304 sslcafile=... A file containing additional CA certificates to use
2305 when verifying the peer certificate.
2306
2307 sslcapath=... A directory containing additional CA certificates to
2308 use when verifying the peer certificate.
2309
2310 sslcrlfile=... A certificate revocation list file to use when
2311 verifying the peer certificate.
2312
2313 sslflags=... Specify various flags modifying the SSL implementation:

41bd17a4 2315 DONT_VERIFY_PEER
2316 Accept certificates even if they fail to
2317 verify.
2318 NO_DEFAULT_CA
2319 Don't use the default CA list built in
2320 to OpenSSL.
2321 DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
2322 Don't verify the peer certificate
2323 matches the server name
2b94f655
AJ
2324
2325 ssldomain= The peer name as advertised in it's certificate.
2326 Used for verifying the correctness of the received peer
2327 certificate. If not specified the peer hostname will be
2328 used.
2329
2330 front-end-https
2331 Enable the "Front-End-Https: On" header needed when
2332 using Squid as a SSL frontend in front of Microsoft OWA.
2333 See MS KB document Q307347 for details on this header.
2334 If set to auto the header will only be added if the
2335 request is forwarded as a https:// URL.
2336
2337
2338 ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ====
2339
2340 connect-timeout=N
2341 A peer-specific connect timeout.
2342 Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive.
2343
2344 connect-fail-limit=N
2345 How many times connecting to a peer must fail before
2346 it is marked as down. Default is 10.
2347
2348 allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
2349 requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
2350 icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To extensive use
2351 of this option may result in forwarding loops, and you
2352 should avoid having two-way peerings with this option.
2353 For example to deny peer usage on requests from peer
2354 by denying cache_peer_access if the source is a peer.
2355
2356 max-conn=N Limit the amount of connections Squid may open to this
2357 peer. see also
2358
2359 name=xxx Unique name for the peer.
2360 Required if you have multiple peers on the same host
2361 but different ports.
2362 This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar
2363 directives to dentify the peer.
2364 Can be used by outgoing access controls through the
2365 peername ACL type.
2366

11e3fa1c 2429 possible. You can treat some domains differently than the
41bd17a4 2430 default neighbor type specified on the 'cache_peer' line.
2431 Normally it should only be necessary to list domains which
2432 should be treated differently because the default neighbor type
2433 applies for hostnames which do not match domains listed here.

2446DOC_START
2447 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
2448 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
2449 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
2450 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
2451 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
2452 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
699acd19 2453
41bd17a4 2454 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
2455 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
2456 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
2457 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
2458 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
2459 will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers
2460 instead of to your parents.

41bd17a4 2500 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
2501 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
2502 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
2503 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
2504
2505 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
2506 for:
2507 * In-Transit objects
2508 * Hot Objects
2509 * Negative-Cached objects
2510
2511 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
2512 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
2513 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
2514 priority.
2515
2516 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
2517 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
2518 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
2519 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
2520 not needed for in-transit objects.
2521
2522 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
2523 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
2524 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
2525 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
2526 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
2527 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
2528 objects.

41bd17a4 2590 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
0976f8db 2591
41bd17a4 2592 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
2593 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
2594 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
2595 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
0976f8db 2596
41bd17a4 2597 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
2598 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
2599 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
2600 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
0976f8db 2601
41bd17a4 2602 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
2603 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
2604 replacement policies.
7d90757b 2605
41bd17a4 2606 NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
2607 the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
2608 to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.

41bd17a4 2631 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
2632 files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
2633 for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.
2634 The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid

41bd17a4 2641 The ufs store type:
0976f8db 2642
41bd17a4 2643 "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always

2649 directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your
2650 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
2651 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
2652 subtract 20% and use that value.
0976f8db 2653
56fba4d0 2654 'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
41bd17a4 2655 will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16.
0976f8db 2656
56fba4d0 2657 'L2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
41bd17a4 2658 will be created under each first-level directory. The default

41bd17a4 2661 The aufs store type:
7f7db318 2662
41bd17a4 2663 "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing

41bd17a4 2681 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
2682 stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
2683 Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
0976f8db 2684
41bd17a4 2685 Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
2686 starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues,
2687 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
0976f8db 2688
41bd17a4 2689 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
2690 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
2691 ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for

2700
41bd17a4 2701 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
2702 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
2703 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
2704 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
2705 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
2706 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
2707 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
0976f8db 2708
41bd17a4 2709 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
2710 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
2711 this will be created by squid -z.

2717 min-size=n, refers to the min object size in bytes this cache_dir
2718 will accept. It's used to restrict a cache_dir to only store

2722 max-size=n, refers to the max object size in bytes this cache_dir

2725 the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the
2726 ones with no max-size specification last.
0976f8db 2727
41bd17a4 2728 Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,

2924
2925 If ICAP is enabled, the following two codes become available (as
2926 well as ICAP log codes documented with the icap_log option):
2927
2928 icap::tt Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP
2929 transaction. The timer ticks when ICAP
2930 ACLs are checked and when ICAP
2931 transaction is in progress.
2932
2933 icap::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response
2934 related to the HTTP transaction. Like
2935 <h, accepts an optional header name
2936 argument. Will not change semantics
2937 when multiple ICAP transactions per HTTP
2938 transaction are supported.
2939
2940 If adaptation is enabled the following two codes become available:
2941
2942 adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response
2943 times recorded as a comma-separated list in
2944 the order of transaction start time. Each time
2945 value is recorded as an integer number,
2946 representing response time of one or more
2947 adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
2948 milliseconds. When a failed transaction is
2949 being retried or repeated, its time is not
2950 logged individually but added to the
2951 replacement (next) transaction. See also:
2952 adapt::all_trs.
2953
2954 adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
2955 Same as adaptation_strs but response times of
2956 individual transactions are never added
2957 together. Instead, all transaction response
2958 times are recorded individually.
2959
2960 You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
2961 service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
2962 to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs

3038 ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per
3039 transaction.
3040
3041 The icap_log option format is:
3042 icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
3043 icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
3044
3045 Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
3046 kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
3047 features.
3048
3049 ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
3050 require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple
3051 ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
3052 log line.
3053
3054 ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP
3055 transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header
3056 embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats:
3057 For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP
3058 server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP
3059 request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For
3060 OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers.
3061
3062 The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:
3063
3064 icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.
3065
3066 icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service
3067 option in Squid configuration file.
3068
3069 icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru.
3070
3071 icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or
3072 OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm.
3073
3074 icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload
3075 only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket).
3076
3077 icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP
3078 payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from
3079 the socket).
3080
bae917ac
CT
3081 icap::<bs Number of message body bytes received from the
3082 ICAP server. ICAP message body, if any, usually
3083 includes encapsulated HTTP message headers and
3084 possibly encapsulated HTTP message body. The
3085 HTTP body part is dechunked before its size is
3086 computed.
3087
3ff65596
AR
3088 icap::tr Transaction response time (in
3089 milliseconds). The timer starts when
3090 the ICAP transaction is created and
3091 stops when the transaction is completed.
3092 Similar to tr.
3093
3094 icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The
3095 timer starts when the first ICAP request
3096 byte is scheduled for sending. The timers
3097 stops when the last byte of the ICAP response
3098 is received.
3099
3100 icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all
3101 transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION
3102 transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204
3103 responses, ICAP_MOD for message
3104 modification, and ICAP_SAT for request
3105 satisfaction. Similar to Ss.

3107 icap::Hs ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs.
3108
3109 icap::>h ICAP request header(s). Similar to >h.

3189 pathname here. Note you must give a full filename, not just
3190 a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object
3191 list you CANNOT periodically rotate it!
5473c134 3192
41bd17a4 3193 If %s can be used in the file name it will be replaced with a

3227 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
3228 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other

3872 The cache by default continues downloading aborted requests
3873 which are almost completed (less than 16 KB remaining). This
3874 may be undesirable on slow (e.g. SLIP) links and/or very busy
3875 caches. Impatient users may tie up file descriptors and
3876 bandwidth by repeatedly requesting and immediately aborting
3877 downloads.
3878
3879 When the user aborts a request, Squid will check the
3880 quick_abort values to the amount of data transfered until
3881 then.
3882
3883 If the transfer has less than 'quick_abort_min' KB remaining,
3884 it will finish the retrieval.
3885
3886 If the transfer has more than 'quick_abort_max' KB remaining,
3887 it will abort the retrieval.
3888
3889 If more than 'quick_abort_pct' of the transfer has completed,
3890 it will finish the retrieval.
3891
3892 If you do not want any retrieval to continue after the client
3893 has aborted, set both 'quick_abort_min' and 'quick_abort_max'
3894 to '0 KB'.
3895
3896 If you want retrievals to always continue if they are being
3897 cached set 'quick_abort_min' to '-1 KB'.

4092DOC_START
4093 A broken or confused HTTP/1.1 client may send a chunked HTTP
4094 request to Squid. Squid does not have full support for that
4095 feature yet. To cope with such requests, Squid buffers the
4096 entire request and then dechunks request body to create a
4097 plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain
4098 request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual.
4099
4100 The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used
4101 to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked
4102 request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion
4103 fails, and the client receives an "unsupported request" error,
4104 as if dechunking was disabled.
4105
4106 Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of
4107 chunked requests, set the maximum to zero.
4108
4109 Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a
4110 temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully
4111 supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request.

4171 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
4172 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
4173 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
4174 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
4175 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
4176 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
4177 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
4178 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
4179 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
4180 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
4181 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
4182 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
4183 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
4184 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
4185 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
4186 force fresh content.

4496 The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to

4498 from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up
4499 in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without

4506 should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.

4866 This is used to determine which delay pool a request falls into.
4867
4868 delay_access is sorted per pool and the matching starts with pool 1,
4869 then pool 2, ..., and finally pool N. The first delay pool where the
4870 request is allowed is selected for the request. If it does not allow
4871 the request to any pool then the request is not delayed (default).
4872
4873 For example, if you want some_big_clients in delay
4874 pool 1 and lotsa_little_clients in delay pool 2:
4875
4876Example:
4877 delay_access 1 allow some_big_clients
4878 delay_access 1 deny all
4879 delay_access 2 allow lotsa_little_clients
4880 delay_access 2 deny all

4890 This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has
4891 a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
4892 description of delay_class. For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:
4893
4894delay_parameters pool aggregate
4895
4896 For a class 2 delay pool:
4897
4898delay_parameters pool aggregate individual
4899
4900 For a class 3 delay pool:
4901
4902delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual
4903
4904 For a class 4 delay pool:
4905
4906delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
4907
4908 For a class 5 delay pool:
4909
4910delay_parameters pool tag
4911
4912 The variables here are:
4913
4914 pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
4915 number specified in delay_pools as used in
4916 delay_class lines.
4917
4918 aggregate the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket
4919 (class 1, 2, 3).
4920
4921 individual the "delay parameters" for the individual
4922 buckets (class 2, 3).
4923
4924 network the "delay parameters" for the network buckets
4925 (class 3).
4926
4927 user the delay parameters for the user buckets
4928 (class 4).
4929
4930 tag the delay parameters for the tag buckets
4931 (class 5).
4932
4933 A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
4934 the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
4935 quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
4936 maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.
4937
4938 For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
4939 above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps
4940 (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:
4941
4942delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000
4943
4944 Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".
4945
4946 And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
4947 example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit)
4948 with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each
4949 individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb
4950 to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
4951 (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
4952 large downloads more significantly:
4953
4954delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000
4955
4956 There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.
4957
4958 Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will
4959 be limited to 128Kb no matter how many workstations they are logged into.:
4960
4961delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000

5204 one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done
5205 using the wccp2_service_info option.

5944 This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which

5946 acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists
5947 for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.
5948
5949 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
5950 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
5951 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
5952 the first authentication related acl encountered
5953 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last

0b0cfcf2 6038
5473c134 6039 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
6040 ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
6041 any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for
6042 local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
6043 something like:
0b0cfcf2 6044
5473c134 6045 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
6046 always_direct allow local-servers
0b0cfcf2 6047

6051 always_direct allow FTP
cccac0a2 6052
5473c134 6053 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
6054 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
6055 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
6056 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
6057 some other rule. Example:
8d6275c0 6058
5473c134 6059 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
6060 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
6061 always_direct deny local-external
6062 always_direct allow local-servers
8d6275c0 6063
5473c134 6064 NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
6065 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
6066 to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
6067 can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
8d6275c0 6068

6086
6087 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
6088 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
6089 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
6090 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
6091

5473c134 6093 never_direct deny local-servers
6094 never_direct allow all
6095
6096 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
6097 servers inside the firewall use something like:
6098
6099 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
6100 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net

6441
6442 vectoring_point: reqmod_precache|reqmod_postcache|respmod_precache|respmod_postcache

6444 ICAP service should be activated. *_postcache vectoring points
6445 are not yet supported.
a22e6cd3
AR
6446
6447 service_url: icap://servername:port/servicepath
6448 ICAP server and service location.
6449
6450 ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
6451 transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
6452 services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
6453 can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
6454 service_names differ.
6455
6456
6457 Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support
6458 the following name=value options:
6459
6460 bypass=on|off|1|0
6461 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
6462 optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
6463 Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
6464 if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
6465 bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
6466 essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
6467 returned to the HTTP client.
6468
6469 Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
6470
6471 routing=on|off|1|0
6472 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
6473 dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
6474 returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
6475 are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
6476 value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
6477 Each named service should be configured in squid.conf and
6478 should have the same method and vectoring point as the current
6479 ICAP transaction. Services violating these rules are ignored.
6480 An empty X-Next-Services value results in an empty plan which
6481 ends the current adaptation.
6482
6483 Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services
6484 response header is ignored.
6485
e6713f4e
AJ
6486 ipv6=on|off
6487 Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems
6488 is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will
6489 make Squid use IPv6-only connections to contact this ICAP service.

a22e6cd3

6607 The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point

6609
6610 If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are
6611 bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a
6612 transaction failure with one service may still be retried using
6613 another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master
6614 transaction fails as well.
6615
6616 A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that
6617 is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become
6618 ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal.
6619 Technically, it is the bypassability of the last failed service that

6645 the previous service in the chain.
6646
6647 When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were
6648 not a part of the chain. A broken service is a down optional service.
6649
6650 Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid
6651 does not currently allow declaration of RESPMOD services at the
6652 "reqmod_precache" vectoring point (see icap_service or ecap_service).
6653
6654 The services in a chain must be attached to the same vectoring point
6655 (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD).
6656
6657 A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an
6658 essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for
6659 other reasons), the master transaction fails. Otherwise, the failure
6660 is bypassed as if the failed adaptation service was not in the chain.

6731 For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response
6732 sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid

6740 An ICAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the

6897 with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some
6898 resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled
6899 EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram
6900 sizes being advertised by Squid.
6901 Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain
6902 even if it would be resolvable without EDNS.

7070 requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc
7071 library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps

7082 An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account
7083 when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per

7408LOC: Config.max_filedescriptors
7409DOC_START
7410 The maximum number of filedescriptors supported.
7411
7412 The default "0" means Squid inherits the current ulimit setting.
7413
7414 Note: Changing this requires a restart of Squid. Also
7415 not all comm loops supports large values.

7436DOC_START
7437 Usage: cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=P1,P2,... cores=C1,C2,...
7438
7439 Sets 1:1 mapping between Squid processes and CPU cores. For example,
7440
7441 cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=1,2,3,4 cores=1,3,5,7
7442
7443 affects processes 1 through 4 only and places them on the first
7444 four even cores, starting with core #1.
7445
7446 CPU cores are numbered starting from 1. Requires support for
7447 sched_getaffinity(2) and sched_setaffinity(2) system calls.
7448
7449 Multiple cpu_affinity_map options are merged.
