[squid-users] Client certificate authentication problem

Hello Alex,

thank you for your answer. I was little bit puzzled since I haven't got any
error when using "clientca" with "http_port". I thought, maybe it was
somehow possible, beyond my understanding. :)

The reason why I didn't respond immediately, because I wanted to test
everything with the "https_port" configuration.

Now my configuration looks like this:

> https_port 443 tls-cert=/etc/squid/certs/new-squid.cert
tls-key=/etc/squid/certs/new-squid.key clientca=/etc/squid/certs/autn.pem
capath=/etc/squid/certs/CAs sslcontext=id

This works...

What I'm trying to do is access control with *user_cert* ACL based on CN
information.

My ACL configuration is super minimal:

> acl ssl_auth user_cert CN "/etc/squid/allowed.cn"
> http_access allow ssl_auth
>
> http_access deny all

File "/etc/squid/allowed.cn" contains one row/entry: "Doe John PKI
1234567890" (without quotes)

However this doesn't work.

I'm really not sure what I have missed...
I tried to put CN directly in the ACL, so with no reference to thefile.
I tried to put single and double quotes around CN in allowed.cn file, as
well.

Could you please help me further? What am I doing wrong here?

Thank you and regards,
Neven
