Re: [squid-users] how to use sslproxy options

Thank you.

Is it possible to place CA certificate in the openssl path so that
squid finds by default? If so can anyone mention the openssl path
where squid searches fro the certificate by default.

I have tried placing certificate in /etc/pki/certs file name
myca.cert but it is not working.

Thanks,
Anandhan
