Re: [squid-users] SQUID + FIREFOX + ACTIVE DIRECTORY

2008-10-29 Thread Josh Haft
Are you using any type of auth with your squid setup? I don't see it
mentioned in your post. I too would be interested in knowing how you
got integrated NTLM auth through firefox, if indeed you have.

 I am totally confused by this statement?.. as I have 300 people using

 listed in firefox under proxy settings (8080 because it goes to DG first.. 
 but I have tested just Squid at 3128 and it works as well).. and I haven't 
 touched anything else in firefox


 I'd be very interested in knowing what is different about your setup.
 I have fought this problem for several years now.

 If I browse internet trough IE 7 everething is ok, no user and password

 version), it prompts for user and password.

 One other note: While FF does support NTLM, it does not do transparent
 auth as IE does. Hence the prompting for username/password.
 Furthermore, due to M$ having a broken implementation of NTLM, FF will
 at times repeatedly prompt ad infinitum. There is an open bug on this
 at Mozilla, (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318253) but
 action on it is understandably slow. You can mess with FF's NTLM
 related settings under 'about:config' to gain some respite. You can
 also run a basic auth that authenticates against NTLM which for some
 reason seems to avoid the multi-prompt issue. Something like:

 auth_param basic program /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-basic
 auth_param basic children 2
 auth_param basic realm somerealm
 auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours
 auth_param basic casesensitive off

Firefox can't grab NTLM creds like IE does.

Re: [squid-users] Squid requirements

2008-07-16 Thread Josh Haft
My most recent setup was on an old Compaq desktop server 1100mhz, 1gb
RAM (not sure of speed) with ~30gb cache on 10k rpm SCSI disks.

Squid was auth-ing against Samba using the winbind helper. No AV, but
dansguardian was used for content filtering. Performance was adequate
for ~100 users.

 What we're really missing is a bunch of hardware
 x, config y, testing
 z, results a, b, c. TMF used to have some stuff up
 for older hardware
 but there's just nothing recent to use as a measuring
 stick..


 The problem is that there's so much disparate technology out there.
 multi-core cpus, all kinds of different memory, all kinds of different disk 
 technologies,  different filesystems,  different OS, different kernels, and 
 on and on.  It's hard to get useful measuring sticks.

 I still think it's a useful pursuit.  But I think that the reasons above make 
 people less inclined to do it.

 spec.org tries to level the field, if someone concocted a level field and 
 made it easy for people to do, then we'd see more results.






Re: [squid-users] Extremely high 'Median response time' warnings

2008-07-12 Thread Josh Haft
Do you ever see this entry/log during the day? Are there any other
sites that give the same message? Perhaps this particular site has
latency issues at night or consistently throughout the day?

 I'm running squid/2.6.STABLE6 on a RHEL5.2 system, on a Dell PowerEdge 1750

 At night - times when the load should be down around zero - I'm seeing the
 following response time messages:

 I've logged on and tried browsing, and response seemed positively zippy.
 I'd think I'd notice a one minute response time.

 Where is this statistic coming from?  I know I could disable it, but I'm
 curious about why squid thinks my performance is this bad.
