Re: [squid-users] ssl port 443

Thank you for the advice Vince. I received before similar advice from
Henrik Nordstrom and already tested the https_port directive with Apache.
It worked really easy.
The only thing that missed is Squid's capability to provide pass phrase
for the private encrypted key at the start up. Apache does that.

Hi Dimitar,

Simply compile squid with "--enable-ssl" and then add the following to
your squid.conf:

https_port 192.168.0.11:443
cert=/usr/local/squid/etc/ssl/internalsite.com.crt
key=/usr/local/squid/etc/ssl/internalsite.com.key
