[squid-users] No valid signing SSL certificate configured for HTTPS_port

[Konrad Kaluszynski]

Hi All,

My goal is to configure a reverse proxy for Outlook Anywhere clients using
squid.
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Reverse/ExchangeRpc

This will replace existing TMG that my client is currently using.

However, when I run squid I get an error  "No valid signing SSL certificate
configured for HTTPS_port".

Before, I was able to get OWA and HTTPS traffic using NGINX as reverse
proxy but was getting connection errors when trying to use OutlookAnywhere.

So now I have been testing Squid but cannot get past the certificate
installation which was painless under Nginx.

Configuration is based on an article below:
https://sysadminfixes.wordpress.com/2013/01/25/exchanging-squids/

I have been trying for several days now without much success to configure
SSL certificate on my squid server.

Getting the " ...no valid signing certificate" every time.

I found few posts saying that it was not possible to use SSL certificates
signed by public CA and self-signed certs must be used.

Can anyone confirm if this is a case?

Logs and config files below.

My domain name has been replaced with *contoso.com <http://contoso.com>*
for confidentiality sake.
