[squid-users] https quick question

[snakeeyes]

Thank you amos so much

So far I didn’t add CA to my browser
And I followed many docs about how to create the .key file and .crt file but always I get( ssl negotiation error)

What could be the problem

Where should I check and troubleshoot ?

BTW I have the directive 
https_port 443 accel key=/root/CA/myCA/private/squid.local.key cert=/root/CA/myCA/certs/squid.local.crt

where shoud I troubleshoot ?

appreciate  your help a lot

for start I want to start with self signed certificate but later I will buy a valid certificate

hope to help me

cheers

No.

If it was signed by a global truted CA then you dont have to do anything more. Making it work for clients is what you are paying the CA for.

If those keys were signed by a custom CA you can optionally add *that
CA* to the browser trusted set. Or the user could click to add exception when they get their popup. Some of the browsers now are ignoring self-signed certs (provided they are valid to the server being contacted). Or you could add TLSA records to your DNS for the domain.
