[squid-users] Squid as reverse proxy with outlook web access

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to use squid in the following way at the company where I work:

[Internet] --SSL connection--> [Squid Reverse Proxy] --HTTP connection--> [Outlook Web Access Server]
[Internet] <--SSL connection-- [Squid Reverse Proxy] <--HTTP connection-- [Outlook Web Access Server]

As I'm new to squid, I tried using the configuration example which I found here:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/SquidAndOutlookWebAccess

If I'm getting this right, the aforementioned configuration should do exactly what I'm looking for. So I tried using the configuration file (adjusted to our system/network of course), but instead of getting through to Outlook, I get an error page:

(I entered https://squidserver/exchange into the browser on another machine to test it)

>ERROR

>While trying to retrieve the URL: https://owaserver/exchange
>The following error was encountered:

>Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect.

>Your cache administrator is webmaster.

Here's my squid.conf file:

># Added because of "ACL name 'all' not defined!" error on squid startup
>acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
>
>https_port xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443 cert=c:/squid/share/cert/cert.pem key=c:/squid/share/cert/key.pem defaultsite=owaserver
>
>cache_peer yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy parent 80 0 no-query originserver login=PASS >front-end-https=on name=owaserver
>
>acl OWAip dst yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
>acl OWA dstdomain owaserver
>cache_peer_access owaserver allow OWA
>never_direct allow OWAip
>
>http_access allow OWAip
>http_access deny all
>miss_access allow OWAip
>miss_access deny all

Explanation:
- xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of the machine with squid running on it.
- yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the IP of the Outlook Web Access Server
- "owaserver" is the name of the Outlook Web Access Server in our company network

I am using squid/2.6.STABLE16 with SSL support on Windows XP Pro.

Can anybody help?
Kind regards,
- Patrick
