Re: [squid-users] SSL Problem

Hello All,
     Does anyone have some ideas about this problem... it's got me completely
stumped. I've tried recompiling and it hasn't helped. I've also sniffed the
connection from the Solaris and AIX machines. From the sniff, it looks like the
Solaris machine is sending a FIN/ACK back to the webserver and is waiting for a
response, because I see squid keep sending FIN/ACK's to the web server (about 1
every 30 seconds)... and this is also when the web browser hangs. On the AIX
machine, it also sends a FIN/ACK out BUT will go on to the next
connection/object it needs to handle. Any ideas? Is this a TCP stack problem
on the Solaris machine? ... because I know some of the TCP parameters are
slightly different (like the TTL, etc.).
     Any ideas will be appreciated and sorry about the long post, but I wanted
to make sure everyone kinda got the background from my previous emails.

Thanks,
Larry

OK, I tried to lower the cache settings, but it didn't help. I don't see
anything out of the ordinary in the logs. I've had netstat running in a loop
while I try to connect to the site, and it looks as if Squid does send an SSL
request but it doesn't send it to the desktop. Also, when it hangs on the logon
screen I can keep hitting the login button until it sends the page back to me.

I know this is a weird problem... any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry

Subject: [squid-users] SSL Problem

Hello All,
     I have a very strange problem. I am running on Solaris 2.7 with Squid
2.3.Stable4. There is an SSL site that my users are accessing, but when they
enter in their userid and password in the SSL page it basically hangs there. I
can reproduce this problem every time. I have been testing by using 3
workstations with IE. I pull up the SSL signon page with all three of them and
enter in the userid/password. Then I hit enter one after the other. Basically
the first machine or which ever one actually communicates to Squid first will
get the page and the other 2 machines will sit there and wait. I also have the
same version of Squid running on an AIX 4.3.3 machine just fine. They are
actually smaller hardware wise, but I don't experience any sort of problems from
them.
     The configurations for both the Solaris and AIX machines are the same,
except for the memory and cache size. The Solaris machine is set for 256 Mb of
RAM and 2048 Mb of cache. The AIX machine is set for 24 Mb of RAM and 200 Mb of
cache. Yeah I know... BIG size difference.

Any ideas? It's been bugging me for a while. I'm going to try strinking the
RAM and cache of the Solaris machine to the same size as the AIX.

Thanks,
Larry
