Hi,

How will this affect say outlook web access (or any other
authentication)? Does it mean that users will not be able to
authenticate to the backend server properly?

Thanks
Paolo

Yes, with 2.6. Very easy. But keep in mind that it terminates the SSL
and then opens a new SSL connection so the certificate seen by the
client is the certificate installed in Squid, and you can't use client
certificates authenticating to the backend web server.

2.5 requires some patching to make SSL backend servers work, and even
then it's a bit messy..
